Emmanuel Macron would think about putting the subject back on the table. At the parliamentary days of En Marche in Angers, the need for reform


Before or after 2022?

How?

The question animated the conversations of the parliamentarians of LREM, gathered this Monday in Angers for their parliamentary days.

From Les Échos, according to which Emmanuel Macron intends to abolish special regimes and establish a minimum pension of 1,000 euros, Macronie has wondered about the advisability of relaunching this inflammable reform before the presidential election.

Opinions remain very divided, reactivating old divisions.

The President of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, prefers to push back "the mother of reforms", which had led to major strikes during the winter of 2019, after a possible re-election of the head of state.

"This is an excellent reform at the start of a second five-year term", launches the former socialist to journalists on the terrace of the Angevin congress center.

And to insist: "We must put things back in the presidential debate.

"

A tight schedule

“The lifespan of a legislative text is at least six months. There, with the presidential election, Parliament closes from the end of February. So a text launched in October… cannot succeed, ”argues, for his part, a minister. “We will not escape the debate with the presidential election. But it will surely not be decisive between now and the election. The debate on special diets must take place. We must make the pension system fairer, ”pushes Roland Lescure, chairman of the commission for economic affairs of the Palais Bourbon.

The deputy of Vienne, Sacha Houlié, urges to respect the promise to abolish special regimes, made in 2017. “If this must involve doing it before the presidential election, then let's do it! "In the same vein, Aurore Bergé, representative of the right wing of the majority, has" the determination to demonstrate that until the end of the five-year term we can continue to transform and reform the country ".
