Its position is clear and made somewhat stain within the majority. Barbara Pompili, ex-minister of the ecological transition under the first five-year term of Emmanuel Macron, explained, Monday, January 16, with bfmtv that it” will not be able to vote for [pension reform] at this stage “.

The deputy of the Somme, at the head of the Party in common, created in 2020 and close to the presidential majority, also wondered if the government could not “be able to do otherwise”.

Two days before the first social and union mobilization against the reform carried by the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, Barbara Pompili estimated that the postponement of the retirement age could lead to “social injustices”, and that The choice made by the executive “requires very ambitious restorative measures”. The government’s project aims to gradually postpone retirement age to 64 years, instead of 62 years currently, while accelerating the lengthening of the contribution duration.

The government, which has only a relative majority, counts on the votes of all Renaissance troops and other satellite parties. Without this, the executive would be obliged to use article 49.3 of the Constitution, which allows the adoption of a text without a vote.

The main unions, unanimously opposed to this reform, announced a first day of strikes and demonstrations on Thursday, January 19. The whole left called to join the mobilization. The polls also show that the French are mainly hostile to the reform.
