The battle to be the best opposition to Emmanuel Macron has only just begun.
Traveling this Sunday to Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais), Marine Le Pen insisted that she
“will do”
everything so that the pension reform
“as unfair as it is brutal”
is not passed.
This is why the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, should not, according to her,
"go too far"
on the fate of her text.
But in the hemicycle, the National Rally does not participate in the escalation of amendments.
Among the 7,000 amendments tabled in committee at the National Assembly, only 75 come from the benches of the RN.
Conversely, the deputies of La France insoumise drafted more than 3,000 amendments.
"The opposition is not measured by the number of amendments, especially when they are amendments as grotesque as those which were tabled by France Insoumise"
, defended Marine Le Pen.
“We are not there to make numbers, we are there to defend the interests of the French.
The 75 amendments that we are tabling aim to lessen the seriousness of this reform for the French.
They can count on us.
We are doing a serious job
, ”she continued.

Invited this Sunday on the set of BFM politique, the coordinator of La France insoumise, Manuel Bompard, was quick to reply.
“What is grotesque is the opposition of the National Rally
,” he replied.
They have 89
deputies, they tabled fewer amendments than the number of deputies.”
And adding, mockingly:
“they were not even able to come up with an idea for an amendment”
.
The latter also swept aside the accusations of obstructing parliamentary debate, due to the large number of amendments tabled by his group.
"What prevents us from going to the end of the examination of this text is that the government has chosen a particular method of debate"
, he denounced, in reference to the government's recourse to article 47-1.
This provision specific to all budgetary texts limits the length of debates in Parliament to fifty days, of which only twenty are for the first reading in the National Assembly.
