It is a little snub for the government and LREM. This Thursday afternoon the National Assembly adopted a bill "carrying various measures of social justice" supported by the group Freedom and Territories which brings together a dozen deputies from very diverse backgrounds. This bill has a total of 6 articles. A new hiccup after the mess on the leave for the death of a child.
The group of deputies at the origin of the bill obviously welcomes the adoption of their bill. "We voted for concrete solutions awaited for years by associations for people with disabilities" reacted to the Parisian, deputy Jeanine Dubié, from the group Liberté et Territoires.
Despite a suspension of the session, the LREM deputies failed to rally a majority to reject the text, which was not to the taste of the government.

- Jean-Luc Mélenchon (@JLMelenchon) February 13, 2020"This bill seeks to improve autonomy, dignity and purchasing power"
The “social justice” provisions of the parliamentary text are mainly directed towards the disabled public and the elderly. “We consider that in our aging society, the question of dependence and the care of our seniors is obviously essential. In this perspective, this bill seeks to improve the autonomy, dignity and purchasing power of people, throughout their lives, and in particular when they are most vulnerable ”specifies the bill n ° 2550.
"Without claiming to respond to the greater challenge of the future of our social model in the face of the challenge of loss of autonomy, this proposal modestly invites us to improve existing systems with a view to social justice" specifies the introductory text .
