Elisabeth Borne does not go there by four paths. The Prime Minister considers "irresponsible" the bill to repeal the pension reform presented by the group of MPs Liot (Freedoms, Independents, Overseas and Territories). This text will be debated in committee at the National Assembly on Wednesday 31 May. Its examination in the Chamber will take place on 8 June.
Supported by the left, the independent group Liot intends to "get out of the top" of the "very serious social and political crisis" in progress, by this text included in their reserved day ("niche"). During parliamentary niches, a group of MEPs puts on the agenda the texts they want.
A tactic to prevent going as far as voting is not excluded
According to the Prime Minister, "it is quite irresponsible on their part to suggest that their approach will make it possible to go back on the pension reform". This bill is "a way to attract the light by not telling the truth to the French," she said on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, on the plane taking her to Reunion.
The attitude of the presidential camp with a view to the examination of the text remains to be defined, a tactic to prevent going as far as the vote is not excluded. The majority groups (Renaissance, MoDem, Horizons) will meet on Tuesday to collectively take a decision on the strategy to adopt.
According to a Renaissance executive, "On June 8, there will be a vote. We said we wanted to vote when there was 49.3, we're not going to say the opposite now." "We anticipate losing, or winning but in a very close way. "
