On the pension reform front, the coming week will be particularly intense.

Before the mobilization in the street on Tuesday, the deputies kick off the debates in committee on the highly contested project on Monday, with opposition increasingly raised by the unfailing firmness displayed by the government.

From 9:30 a.m., the sixty parliamentarians from the Social Affairs Committee will work, article by article, on the text which provides for a decline in the legal age from 62 to 64 and an acceleration of the extension of the duration of contribution, before the test in the hemicycle from February 6 on the flagship reform of the second five-year Macron.

As of Sunday, the tone frankly went up a notch after the declarations of Elisabeth Borne, ensuring that the postponement of the retirement age is "no longer negotiable", and that of the Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin accusing the Nupes of wanting to "border the country".

A method also criticized at LR

From her stronghold of Hénin-Beaumont, in Pas-de-Calais, the patron saint of deputies RN Marine Le Pen warned the Prime Minister who "should not go too far, because, party as it is party, it is not at all impossible that his pension reform will not be voted on".

LFI coordinator Manuel Bompard for his part criticized Elisabeth Borne for "puffing out his chest", adding: "They want to force their way through, so the best response will be millions of people in the street on Tuesday".

Even the executive vice-president of LR Aurélien Pradié criticized the "chin blow" of the Prime Minister and the "agitator" Gérald Darmanin who throws "oil on the fire".

In any case, time will be counted at the Palais-Bourbon.

The deputies have until Wednesday 8 p.m. to vote on the approximately 7,000 amendments tabled, the vast majority of which by Nupes.

However, this is far from the 22,000 amendments in committee on the previous reform attempt of 2020, but the deputies risk not being able to go through with it.

The tight deadlines are indeed imposed by the vector chosen by the executive, a draft amending budget of the Secu, which limits to fifty days in total the debates in Parliament.
