Four days before the arrival of the text on pension reform in the Assembly, the deputies are working on numerous amendments.

Those of the majority wish in particular to return to the 44 years of contribution necessary for those who started working at 20 or to put the question of the taxation of dividends back on the table.

They didn't wait until January 31.

The CGT and SUD harden the movement against the pension reform.

Mobilization from this Thursday morning in ports, refineries but also power plants.

Torchlight marches are planned in Brest or Paris.

But four days before the text arrives in the Assembly, the response is also being prepared in the hemicycle.

In the ranks of the majority, we took very seriously the government's call to enrich the project.

As a result, the Renaissance deputies are working on numerous amendments.

The question of the taxation of dividends on the table?

It is first a question of correcting an injustice in the eyes of certain walkers: the 44 years of contribution necessary for those who started working at 20 years old.

And even if she had initially pledged that no one would contribute over the age of 43, according to information from Europe 1, at this stage, Elisabeth Borne is not in favor of this modification which would cost no less than 3 billion euros. euros.

With regard to sources of financing, members of the majority are considering putting back on the table a taboo subject for the executive: the taxation of dividends.

In the left wing of the macronie, we particularly want to propose an end to exemptions from contributions for companies that do not employ enough seniors.

Among the less sensitive subjects, the Renaissance group will defend an amendment to broaden the conditions for the redemption of terms, internships or studies.

It is also considering proposing a mechanism to reduce the pension gap between men and women.

Finally, the MoDem, for its part, intends to file around twenty amendments, in particular to lower the full retirement age from 67 to 66 years old.

On the LR side, despite Eric Ciotti's call to vote for the reform, several deputies, including Vice-President Aurélien Pradier, denounce an unfair reform.

The Republicans have until 5 p.m. Thursday evening to file a dozen amendments.
