Frictions, reminders to the series regulations and cascading session suspensions: the debates skated completely on Wednesday on the third day of consideration of the pension reform in the National Assembly, the left rebelling in particular against a desire to "muzzle" the oppositions.
From the opening of the session at 3 p.m., reminders of the rules multiplied, LR asking for clarification on the financing of the reform, and the left denouncing the rules in force for the examination of the 41,000 amendments.

The atmosphere was tense, especially between Richard Ferrand (LREM) at the perch and Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI), the first asking the second to justify the reason for his reminder of the rules: "Here is not a meeting, c 'is the National Assembly'.
"It's serious, what's going on"
The three left-wing groups - PS, PCF and LFI - contested the measures taken the previous day at a conference of presidents to criss-cross the debate, in particular providing for a single speaker on the identical amendments.
For the left, it is particularly unacceptable that amendments placed in different places of the text fall on the grounds that they would have the same object. "It is serious what is happening," launched Sébastien Jumel (PCF), seeing there "a new weapon to muzzle the Parliament".

Richard Ferrand defended the application of a "constant rule" and excluded any new conference of presidents on the grounds that "moods would change". But several suspensions of session followed, the communists asking in particular as the day before a quorum check.
Frictions between @JLMelenchon and @RichardFerrand:
- "You should calm down!
- Don't worry, I'm very calm ...
- It's not the impression you give! "# Retreats #DirectAN pic.twitter.com/88P2RpnlZw
Since Monday, the debates skate on this reform aiming to create a “universal” system of pensions by points, strongly contested by the oppositions of right as of left.
After long discussions on the title of the bill, the deputies have not yet started examining article 1, devoted to "general principles" and which alone is the subject of more than 1,700 amendments. .
