Arm in arm, on the streets in 2023 to oppose Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform, socialists and “rebels” are about to clash over a text that will supposedly allow its repeal. At the center of the controversy is the La Francia Insumisa (LFI) bill, which will be debated in committee on November 20 and in the chamber, within the framework of its parliamentary niche, on November 28.
The text plans to eliminate the legal retirement age set at 64 years. But it also proposes extending the duration of contributions again to 43 years. However, this measure was introduced by former socialist minister Marisol Touraine, under the mandate of François Hollande. Therefore, its elimination is not at all obvious to the deputies of the Socialist Party (PS).
Already confronted with the LFI, the socialist deputy for Essonne Jérôme Guedj does not lose his temper and accuses Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s movement of “cause a crisis over issues that could unite people”. “With them it is always the same, you have to submit or resign”gets angry with the elected representative of the Ile-de-France region, who does not see “How socialists can vote for a text with which they do not agree”.
Respond to the RN text.
Mainly concerned, François Hollande made it known, through his entourage, that he would not vote “which will allow us to return to the Touraine reform”. Attacked for his record by the deputy (National Group, RN) of Loiret Thomas Ménage, the former President of the Republic had already said it in the chamber on October 29: “The law [Touraine] It is true that it allowed the contribution period to be extended, but it kept the retirement age at 62 years. And if the law adopted by article 49.3 is repealed, the Touraine law will apply. »
At first, the “rebels” wanted to stick to the pure and simple repeal of age measurement. They decided to go further after discovering that the RN had also proposed, in the text presented in its niche on October 31, to return to 42 annuities. “We moved because we noticed that there is a majority in the National Assembly to vote in favor of this reform, which was going in the right direction from the point of view of our program”justifies the rapporteur of the text, the elected “rebel” of the North Ugo Bernalicis, who recalls that LFI has always been in favor of retirement at age 60, after 40 years of contributions.
