In recent days, the verdict had almost become inevitable. It is now official. The President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet will pronounce in the day, under Article 40 of the Constitution, the financial inadmissibility of the amendments to repeal retirement at 64 years, she announced on BFMTV / RMC this morning. These texts had been tabled by the Nupes and the Liot group (Freedoms, Independents, Overseas and Territories) after Article 1 of the bill of MP Charles de Courson to cancel the age measure of the pension reform, had been deleted last week in the Social Affairs Committee.
"Tomorrow, whatever happens, there will be no repeal of the pension reform. The text that will be examined will be as it comes from the Social Affairs Committee, "explained Yaël Braun-Pivet, and therefore, without Article 1 of repeal, which was deleted by parliamentarians. "I refuse to sit on this vote," she explained, adding that the repeal amendments added by MEPs between the debates in committee and those that will take place in the Hemicycle "will be declared inadmissible during the day". "I never hide (...). I am fed up with these pyromaniac firefighters who tell us morning noon and evening that we are in denial of democracy while they do everything to avoid the vote, "she also teased against the LFI deputies, who tried a massive parliamentary obstruction last week in committee.

Yaël Braun-Pivet had repeated it several times in recent days: when the time came, she would "take her responsibilities". "Article 1 should not have been discussed in committee since being contrary to Article 40 of the Constitution, the president of the Finance Committee should have pronounced the inadmissibility," she had launched a few days ago on Europe 1 against the Insoumise Eric Coquerel. The president of the Lower House therefore puts an end to a maneuver elaborated in high places two weeks ago to get out of the trap set by the oppositions and avoid a vote during the parliamentary niche of the Liot group, Thursday, on this bill.
Text retained and withdrawn under discussion
According to our information, the Liot group should maintain its bill despite the inadmissibility of the amendments to repeal retirement at age 64. "It is necessary to make the general discussion take place to be able to denounce the low macronist maneuvers," decrypts a deputy of the group. But the text will probably be withdrawn during the discussion by its rapporteur Charles de Courson. "It is not a question of passing our entire niche on a text emptied of its substance. We will quickly move on to something else, "says one in the entourage of President Bertrand Pancher.
An "intelligent" decision, judges a Macronist executive. "Liot was overwhelmed by the Nupes. Their other texts are less symbolic, less public but very political and refer to the composition of their group, attached to the territory. They could even be that we vote some of them, "says the same parliamentarian. Christophe Naegelen's bill to broaden the base of the tax on financial transactions could, for example, attract a majority of the presidential troops. Other topics will also be debated, such as a text by MP Benjamin Saint-Huile aimed at strengthening citizens' engagement and participation in democratic life.
