The executive may want to accelerate, the pension reform is not yet on rails. Rather on a winding path and strewn with criticism. A week ago, Emmanuel Macron had nevertheless achieved a first step: reinstalling in the back -to -school landscape this reform announced during the presidential campaign. During a response to journalists from the Association of the Presidential Press, on September 12, the President of the Republic admitted not to exclude the possibility of integrating it into the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS), Presented on September 26 in the Council of Ministers. Since then, everyone has positioned itself and the majority has been divided. Precipuite even if it means tense or delay to try to convince, the dilemma of the coming week is both simple and thorny.

This weekend, two important voices were firmly trained against integration into the PLFSS. In an interview with the Parisian published Saturday, September 17 in the evening, François Bayrou warned. “I am opposed to the passage in force, declares the president of the modem, ally alleged by the head of state and whose party belongs to the majority. If we embark on this path, then we are certain to coal ‘First of all the oppositions between them, then to divide French society. All because we would not have taken the time of pedagogy. “

Sunday noon, Laurent Berger, secretary general of the CFDT, spoke of a “brutal measure” which would give the impression of being “walking on the mouth” before threatening to put an end to all the Discussions, especially those barely started within the National Refoundation Council (CNR). “[S ‘] There is an amendment in the PLFSS on pensions, the CFDT, de facto, comes out of the CNR and discussions on all subjects, warned Mr. Berger during the program” Political questions ” , on France Inter and Franceinfo, in partnership with Le Monde. Yes, we will go out because it will be unfairly. “

” Immobilization and blocking “

Last week, the possible acceleration of the calendar had not already been well received by part of the majority of the majority. Even if most macronists agree on the bottom, that is to say on the imperative of an age measure, some fear that adding an amendment to the PLFSS transforms the assembly into A pugilat. A battle in the hemicycle which could end in an appeal, necessarily brutal, in article 49.3 of the Constitution, which would make it possible to pass the bill without voting by engaging the responsibility of the government. They would prefer a specific text at the beginning of 2023 to give time to each other to study the different aspects of the reform, such as long careers, arduousness, etc. The president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, is on this position. In Le Parisien, Mr. Bayrou detailed: “The passage in force is the opposite of the spirit of the CNR, which claims to examine the problems together. Without wasting time, but without elude the necessary exchange for Let the French adhere. The president said in his campaign that the French could no longer reforms that fell ready from the summit. I defend this message. “
