Now comes the time to take stock.
After two weeks of particularly intense debate on pension reform, it is time to draw conclusions from the strategies adopted by the National Assembly.
For the coordinator and deputy of La France insoumise, Manuel Bompard, the approach of tabling amendments by the thousands and thus slowing down the debates was the right one, and the LFI troops even “helped social mobilization
”
.
In the home stretch, Friday, a few dissonant voices were however heard on the side of Nupes.
Seeing that it was going to be impossible to examine article 7 - i.e. the one concerning the extension of the legal retirement age -, because of the very many amendments still on the agenda by LFI, the ecologists deplored the approach of their colleagues.
“
We would have liked to have this debate
”, “
it would have put the government in very great difficulty, we felt the concerns of parliamentarians and the government
”, underlined in this sense the president of the environmental group, Cyrielle Chatelain.

But on the side of Manuel Bompard, it is not so.
“
We, our responsibility as opponents of this reform, was to ensure that they could not vote in ten days to postpone the legal age
”, repeated the deputy, invited this Monday morning on France 2. "
That's what we did, and that's what allows the social movement to be able to unfold on March 7
," he continued, ensuring that the vote for the article would have taken the risk of “
demobilizing the street
”.
But "
we gave a hand
" to the unions, said the Insoumis.
For him, the debates still made it possible to “
point out the difficulties, the weaknesses, the lies
” of the government.
It does not matter if the heckling of the exchanges has been able to damage Parliament's image - "
there is a lot of cinema, because in truth, this debate has not been a much more stormy, much more violent debate than other
".
"Now let's block the country"
Ensuring that the strategy of the Insoumis was reviewed and adapted every day with the Nupes, Manuel Bompard also affirmed that "
in the end
", it was "
adopted by everyone
".
"
I am proud today to say that thanks to LFI's strategy, the bill was not adopted
," he added, now referring to March 7.
“
Now let’s block the country.
»
Invited at the same time on Public Sénat, the ecologist Rousseau did not draw up the same balance sheet at all.
The strategy was, according to her, “
not shared
”.
She was even "
isolated
", and unsuited, in fact, to "
such an important fight
".
Especially since the unions, like Laurent Berger (CFDT) or Philippe Martinez (CGT) have repeatedly demanded that Article 7 be examined

The deputy for Paris therefore wishes to open an “
act II
” of the Nupes, in which “
a coordination
” would take “
decisions which are clear and democratic
”.
"
I think there is a difference between LFI and Nupes
", she insisted, deploring a "
desire to impose
" in this text on the part of the Insoumis.
