The proposal to repeal the 64-year-old had kept the flame of the challenge to the pension reform, despite its promulgation in mid-April. But the oppositions did not succeed in obtaining a vote on the flagship measure of the text carried by the independent group Liot, it having been rejected in the name of its "inadmissibility".

Previous motion defeated

A previous motion of censure by the Liot group narrowly failed in March, by nine votes. The Liot deputies decided not to table a new motion, "the conditions for success" of such an initiative being "not met currently, especially because of the attitude of part of the group The Republicans," according to a statement.

In March, 19 LR deputies out of 61 had voted censure, after the use of 49.3 by the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, to pass the reform. But the situation has changed, judges one of them, Aurélien Pradié, who "does not think" vote the motion Monday. "She is disconnected from the subject, from pension reform," he told RMC.
