INTERVIEW - The President of the Senate is concerned about the state of the country and calls on the executive to respect the rights of Parliament in the midst of a pension reform.

LE FIGARO. - You asked for a 15-day postponement of Édouard Philippe concerning the examination of the text on pensions to await the conclusions of the financing conference. What did he say to you?

Gérard LARCHER. - I do not yet have the Prime Minister's final answer, but he has instructed the Minister of Relations with the Parliament to approach me to find a solution. It is a collective request expressed during the conference of presidents in the Senate. I simply ask that the rights of parliamentarians not be violated. We cannot vote on such an important text without the slightest idea of ​​the financing of the measures. We are talking about 14% of GDP. The schedule set by the Prime Minister can be respected by accepting our request. We are ready to sit in July. In the Senate, all senators want a sincere and peaceful debate. So far, however, the rights of parliament have not been concretely respected.
