Pensions: the Nupes draws a motion of censure

La France insoumise had warned: if the President of the National embly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, devitalized the bill (PPL) repeal of the pension reform of the Liot group by invoking article 40 of the Constitution, she would table a motion of censure . This Thursday, it is the entire left alliance of Nupes which, after an electric start to the session at the Palais-Bourbon, announced that it was filing a notice of censorship which should be examined at the start of the week. “Faced with the anti-democratic coup […]all the groups of the Nupes will carry a motion of censure, ”declared the leader of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot.

Earlier in the morning, the president of the Liot group, Bertrand Pancher, had announced, after two hours of a very agitated general discussion, withdraw the bill worn by Charles de Courson. “There is nothing left in the text, except obviously the amendments of the presidential minority”, he had justified, denouncing “the powerful attacks against Parliament”. “We are not going to make a fool of ourselves by continuing the debate,” he said.

Retirement at 60

The deputies of the Nupes, them, in a declaration entitled “The oath of June 8” and signed, therefore, including by the socialist group, ensure “never let go of the fight against retirement at 64 and continue on our common objective right to retirement at age 60. »

The Liot group, which had filed after the use of 49.3 for the pension reform a transpartisan motion of censure rejected by 9 votes , was, this Thursday, rather reluctant to join this motion of censure, which has little chance of succeeding, for lack of bringing together the LRs to do so. And this, despite calls from LFI deputies to LR deputies to vote for it. The RN was also thinking, this Thursday, of filing its own mention of censorship.

The majority managed to avoid a vote repealing the pension reform but the episode risks leaving traces.
