“
It is the government of Élisabeth Borne which will have its own majority vote for the reform that we have been proposing to the Senate for several years
”, smiles Bruno Retailleau, sweeping away the idea that Les Républicains would be the unofficial allies of the Macron camp – idea repeatedly brandished by the National Rally.
Invited on France Inter, Wednesday January 11, the president of the LR group in the Senate unsurprisingly praised
the "architecture
" of the pension reform.
“
The one we have already proposed: departure at 64, acceleration of the Touraine reform, attention to small pensions and to women.
»
The government pampered the right and took up its proposals.
During her presentation of the project yesterday, Elisabeth Borne twice cited the Republicans.
While the oppositions on the left as well as the RN denounce a text in turn "
unfair
", "
brutal
" and even "
cruel
", the majority can only count on the votes of the right in the National Assembly.
And if "
a very large majority
" will vote in favor of the pension reform, assures Bruno Retailleau, some "
might not vote for it
".
“
Maybe a dozen or fifteen.
“Before adding:”
Once we have clarified certain points, I do not see how we can not vote for a reform that we have been calling for for years.

A message to Aurélien Pradié, LR deputy for Lot, and his supporters – the same who, while he was a candidate for the presidency of LR, spoke out against the extension of the legal retirement age.
Yesterday, on Twitter, the elected official said: “
In the announcements of Élisabeth Borne, the French who start working at 20 are the losers.
For these French people who started early, as soon as the contribution period is reached, retirement must be possible.
Before the legal age.
For me, it is an imperative.
Closed.
An
“injustice”
, insisted Aurélien Pradié this morning, on Sud Radio, and a “
red line
” not to be crossed.
