The bill was the first of the texts proposed by France Insoumise as part of its parliamentary “niche”, the annual day devoted to its texts. But there remained nearly 600 amendments to be examined at midnight, the deadline for discussions, the presidential camp having slowed down the debates with the stated objective of preventing a vote on this emblematic reform of Emmanuel Macron's mandate.

“Threats, insults and phone calls”

Furthermore, the ushers of the Assembly had to intervene this Thursday evening between several deputies, following an incident caused in the hemicycle by the MoDem deputy Nicolas Turquois, on the sidelines of the debate. According to parliamentary sources, Nicolas Turquois climbed into the aisles during a session suspension, appearing threatening towards a socialist deputy, Michael Bouloux. “My family was threatened! And these are people from your village! », would have launched the first to the second, according to “Le Figaro”.

According to a source at MoDem, Mr. Turquois complained to Mr. Bouloux about the “threats, insults and phone calls” received because of his opposition to the repeal of the pension reform. LFI deputy Antoine Léaument also said he was threatened by Mr. Turquois when he asked him to leave.

The president of the MoDem group Marc Fesneau intervened, as well as ushers, before Nicolas Turquois ended up leaving the hemicycle.
