Both the extreme right and the left have submitted proposals for a referendum on the pension
With episodes and counterclaims both from the right and from the left began in French National Assembly – and will continue for about two weeks – the debate on the reform of the country’s pension system.
It is characteristic of the fact that an hour after the start of the debate, the president of the body, Yael Braun Pivet, addressing the benches of the opposition, raised the question whether “this situation will continue for fifteen days”, receiving the answer “yes”. Both the extreme right and the left have submitted proposals for a referendum on the pension system, as well as around 20,000 amendments to the government bill.
In parallel labor unions have planned demonstrations both for tomorrow Tuesday, as well as for next Saturday, with a basic request for the withdrawal of the bill that provides for the gradual increase of the retirement age in France from 62 years, which is currently 64 years. However, French Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne appears to be accepting the proposal that French people who started taking out insurance before the age of 21 should retire at 63. A fact that was interpreted by political analysts as the willingness of the government to compromise with some demands of the opposition.
However, taking the floor today before the National Assembly, both Labor Minister Olivier Dishopt and Budget Minister Gabriel Attal made it clear that if there is no reform then the pension system will be in a dead end in a few years and the reduction in the amount of pensions will be unavoidable.
