Pension reform: 7,000 amendments studied before the Social Affairs Committee this Monday, follow the debates live

It is this Monday that the examination of the text on the pension reform begins before the Committee on Social Affairs. For three days, the deputies will study around 7,000 amendments before the debates continue in the hemicycle.

On the eve of the second mobilization against this reform, the arrival of the text of the law before the commission of social affairs was particularly awaited. Given the crowds, the debates promise to be fierce, particularly around article 7, which provides for the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 years. Most of the amendments relate to this article 7.

Before studying the amendments, each parliamentary group took the floor. For the Republicans, Stéphane Viry deplored a bill with a “narrow perimeter”, and would have liked it to be an opportunity “to encourage the value of work”.

On the other hand, Sandrine Rousseau, for the Greens, specified that “to refer to the ‘work value’ is to refer to a form of ingratitude of people who would like to have a legitimate right to free time and to time released”.

For François Ruffin, La France Insoumise, “we do not understand the powerful desire for retirement, the powerful fight that begins, if we do not perceive what work is, and the desire that the French have to go out, because unfortunately they don’t fully blossom there”.

For the PS, Jérôme Guedj evoked a “legal monstrosity”.
