This decision will not calm the anger, on this new day of national mobilization against the pension reform.
Only the RN's "referendum motion" on pensions will be put to the vote of the National Assembly, AFP learned from parliamentary sources on Tuesday.
At the initiative of the Communists, the elected leftists had nevertheless filed their own request for a referendum on January 23, and the RN had done so the following day.
Relying on the rules of the Assembly, the deputies of the Nupes affirmed that only their motion could be put to the vote, on February 6, the first day of the debates in the hemicycle on the very controversial project of pension reform.
But the Conference of Presidents of the Assembly decided on a draw, from which the RN group led by Marine Le Pen emerged as the winner.
Something to jump to the left.
“A democratic hijacking”
“Scandalous!
(The President of the Assembly) Yaël Braun-Pivet and Macronie are changing the rules of the Assembly to offer the referendum motion to the RN on a platter, ”exclaimed the leader of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot, on Twitter. .
"They choose an opposition of comfort," she added to the press.
🔴🗣 " What @YaelBRAUNPIVET has just done is not only to change the rules along the way, but once again to favor the RN in opposition to comfort.

“It is a democratic diversion”, abounded at his side the boss of the communist group, André Chassaigne, who does not plan to vote for the RN motion.
“Out of the question” to vote for this far-right motion, confirmed the president of the green deputies, Cyrielle Chatelain.

The RN motion must be put to the vote first, if all its signatories are present on February 6.
If this were not the case, it would be possible for the Nupes motion to be put to the vote, again with the need for all signatories to be present.
In the Social Affairs Committee where the bill is being examined this week, MP RN Laure Lavalette launched: “I can see this morning that the Nupes are excited like a bride going to the altar”.
But "keep a little energy to vote our referendum motion since it is ours that will be presented, the French would not understand if you did not vote for it", she supported.
