Arm in arm, in the street in 2023 to oppose Emmanuel Macron's pension reform, socialists and “rebels” are about to clash over a text supposed to allow its repeal. At the heart of the controversy, the La France Insoumise (LFI) bill, which will be debated in committee on November 20, and in the Hemicycle as part of its parliamentary niche, on November 28.
The text plans to remove the legal retirement age measure at 64 years. But he also proposes to return to the extension of the duration of contributions to 43 years. However, this measure was introduced by the former socialist minister Marisol Touraine, under the mandate of François Hollande. Its removal is therefore far from self-evident for the deputies of the Socialist Party (PS).
Already at odds with LFI, the socialist deputy for Essonne Jérôme Guedj does not lose his temper and accuses Jean-Luc Mélenchon's movement of “provoking a crisis on subjects that could bring people together”. “With them, it’s always the same, you have to submit or resign”gets angry with the elected representative from the Ile-de-France region, who does not see “how socialists can vote for a text with which they disagree”.
Reply to the text of the RN
Primarily concerned, François Hollande made it known, through his entourage, that he would not vote “that which will allow us to return to the Touraine reform”. Attacked on his record by the deputy (National Rally, RN) of Loiret Thomas Ménage, the former President of the Republic had already said it in the Hemicycle on October 29: “The law [Touraine] made it possible to extend the contribution period, it is true, but maintained the retirement age at 62 years. And if the law which was adopted by 49.3 is repealed, it will be the Touraine law which will apply. »
Initially, the “rebels” wanted to stick to the pure and simple repeal of the age measurement. They decided to go further after discovering that the RN had also proposed, in the text presented in its niche of October 31, to return to 42 annuities. “We moved, because we noticed that there is a majority in the National Assembly to vote for this reform, which was going in the right direction from the point of view of our program”justifies the rapporteur of the text, the “rebellious” elected official from the North Ugo Bernalicis, who recalls that LFI has always been in favor of retirement at 60, after 40 years of contributions.
