Pension reform: François Bayrou warns Emmanuel Macron against a “forced passage” – Ouest-France

François Bayrou warns Emmanuel Macron… The boss of the Modem does not want a forced passage in terms of pension reform. In an interview with Le Parisien, published on Saturday September 17, he affirms: if we embark on this path, then we are sure to first coalesce the oppositions between them, then to divide French society. For the past few days, Emmanuel Macron has given a boost to pension reform, which had been interrupted by the Covid during the first five-year term. It is a reform that is necessary because it is necessary to work longer in a nation where we live longer and we return later on average to working life, the Head of State repeated in particular on Thursday. “Risk of motion of censure” The executive has indicated that a reform could take place including via the social security financing bill (PLFSS) presented on September 26 in the Council of Ministers and then examined in Parliament. A track that directs the opposition and divides including within the majority. François Bayrou has therefore chosen his camp: the reform cannot be done by way of an amendment in the budget voted in the fall, he indicates to the Parisian. And to point out a real risk of a motion of censure. The president of the Modem believes that it is necessary to take the time for pedagogy. A few months should be enough to arrive at a solution, he thinks. The President of the Republic has said that he wants the reform for the summer of 2023? With this method, with prior joint work, I am convinced that it can be adopted from the summer of 2023. The forced passage is the opposite of the spirit of the CNR, which calls for examining the problems together, emphasizes François Bayrou… rightly appointed head of the National Council for Refoundation, a body which must give pride of place to in-depth consultation with political forces, unions and associations. chevron_leftchevron_right
