On the end of life Barnier wants to resume the “dialogue”, Braun-Pivet does not want “procrastination” and says she is “disappointed”

The President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet said:disappointed“this Wednesday by the proposal of Prime Minister Michel Barnier to want to resume”the dialogue“on the end of life only at the beginning of 2025, calling for a resumption of the examination of the text by the deputies as quickly as possible.

“I will not be satisfied with procrastination in this matter“, she warned before the Association of Parliamentary Journalists, affirming that on this subject “the debate must take place in the National Assembly, nowhere else“.

Tuesday in his general policy speech, Michel Barnier indicated his intention to “resume the dialogue (…) at the beginning of next year“on the bill whose examination had been interrupted by the dissolution at the beginning of June, also associating with it”the Senate, caregivers and associations“.

“I was disappointed“, reacted Yaël Braun-Pivet, “because I know that it is a text which is awaited by the French and that the Assembly is ready to discuss it“. “It is not a question of reopening a dialogue at the beginning of 2025, we must resume examination of the text where we left off“, she insisted.

Wishing the timetable would be set”on good terms with the government“, the President of the Assembly nevertheless said “ready to register“the text on the agenda for the week of December 2”if we have no agenda perspective“.

An impatience dictated by the length of the procedure, which requires at least two readings in the Assembly and the Senate before a possible final vote. “Let’s be realistic, if we want to take the time, that is to say 18 months to two years (…) we have to go now“, underlined Yaël Braun-Pivet, judging that”there is no question of waiting much longer because otherwise it would be a first class funeral“.
