The union of the left supported by the RN won a battle on the path to repealing the pension reform. By 35 votes to 16 from the right and the center, she succeeded in having her proposal to reduce the retirement age from 64 to 62 years adopted before the Social Affairs Committee of the Assembly. Its text will be presented in the hemicycle on November 28, as part of the LFI parliamentary “niche”. The National Rally, whose similar proposal was not endorsed by the left at the end of October, is choosing “coherence”, insists Marine Le Pen, for whom the challenge is to defend a return to departure at 62 . If this unnatural union between the left and the far right is transformed in a week by a vote in favor of this text, the reform defended in 2023 by the government of Élisabeth Borne will not be buried. For its detractors, the journey promises to be long and strewn with pitfalls. Moreover, since its adoption by 49.3, the text has experienced several offensives. Two motions of censure, one of which failed by 9 votes. Two proposed shared initiative referendums rejected each time by the Wise Men. The Liot group made its contribution but after seeing its text emptied of its substance, it decided to withdraw it. As for the one filed a few months later by LFI, it will be declared financially inadmissible. All these attempts nevertheless resulted in a text finally being studied at the Palais-Bourbon within a week or so. If Parliament validates it, it will have to be debated in the Senate. The Upper House will certainly not be favorable to it given its configuration. The government, opposed to any questioning, will not offer the Assembly the possibility of ultimately deciding. We will therefore have to expect other texts, other shuttles between rooms, even censorship to return to the starting point.
