David scores a point against Goliath. The scenario that takes shape has something to delight the Les Républicains (LR) party, which has weighed on the future pension reform, with which it was closely associated. Unless last minute reversals, the red lines fixed by the right were for the most part integrated by Elisabeth Borne, who was to unveil the content of her project Tuesday, January 10, at 5.30 pm throughout the last weeks, the Prime Minister was all honey with the LR elected officials, which she will need in Parliament to avoid using 49.3, and with whom she has constantly sought points of convergence.
LR could therefore obtain satisfaction on the essentials, namely an age of initially carried (until 2032) at 64 years and not at 65 years – a measure which they considered too “brutal” -, and a Acceleration of the lengthening of the contribution duration. A project inspired by the amendment that the right voted every year in the Senate. For the former party of Nicolas Sarkozy who, for six years, has been stripped by Macronie – which has been anchored to the right by absorbing part of its electorate – it is a form of revenge. “It is not us who will vote the government’s reform, it is the government that will vote for our reform,” said the president of the Senators LR, Bruno Retailleau, who anticipates a “clear and clear victory” for his party.
For the Deputy Director General of Ipsos, Brice Teinturier, it has been a long time since LR elected officials have had such an opportunity to “make themselves useful and enhance their role”, while remaining in line with their electorate natural. By declaring that they want to vote a reform that they have amended, they are “coherent” on the merits (the right having always pleaded to reform pensions), take care of their profile of government party and stand out from the “demagoguery” of the rally National (RN). While giving itself the “beautiful role”, specifies the sounder. Because, paradoxically – and it is the irony of this political sequence – it was the LR leaders who prompted the executive not to rush the French and defended multiple social advances, far from the presidential programs of François Fillon and Valérie Pécresse, with further reforming accents. The latter had pleaded for an increase in the retirement age at 65.

But the satisfaction of having obtained certain concessions – if they were confirmed on Tuesday – has your reverse. If LR elected officials vote the reform of Mr. Macron, who will be credited with the latter’s assessment, what political gains can they draw from it? Before the summer, they had already obtained advances during the examination of the first budgetary texts in the Assembly, from the deconjugalization of the disabled adult allowance to the monetization of RTT, via the fuel fuel. But it was the government that had removed the fruit.
