Europe 1 with AFP 7:39 p.m., February 2, 2023
About 20,000 amendments have just been tabled on the sidelines of the examination of the pension reform, including 13,000 by La France insoumise concerning the legal retirement age at 64.
A deadline is set for February 17 to close the discussions within the hemicycle, in order to send the text for examination in the Senate.
About 20,000 amendments, including nearly 13,000 from LFI, were tabled for the examination of the pension reform in the hemicycle of the National Assembly from Monday, AFP learned from parliamentary sources on Thursday.
This figure is below the 41,000 amendments tabled in 2020 during the previous attempt to reform pensions, and far from the record of 2006: 137,000 amendments during the debate on the privatization of GDF.
Even if some amendments could be deemed inadmissible, their overall number makes it uncertain whether the text will be examined in its entirety from February 6 to 17, before its transmission to the Senate.
And it will not fail to fuel the trial in obstruction that the presidential camp is already doing on the left.
The Nupes coalition is particularly pounding article 7 devoted to the postponement of the legal age of departure to 64 years.
In total, LFI tabled nearly 13,000 amendments, the ecologists 2,300, the socialists 1,400 and the communists 1,160.

The LRs, which could have a decisive role, carry 1,250 amendments.
They have high expectations for long careers, for which they propose a period of 43 years of contribution for all those who started working before the age of 21, compared to 44 years for some in the current reform for those who started at 20. .
And they are calling for a review clause for a first assessment of the effects of the reform in 2027. There are more than 200 amendments from RN deputies, who are fighting the postponement of the legal age and want in particular to debate the arduousness and measures for the birth rate.
In the majority, the Renaissance elected officials tabled more than 400 amendments, Horizons and the Modem 80 each.
The MoDem is also calling for a review clause in 2027 and measures for women.
The timetable for examining the reform is constrained by the legislative vehicle chosen by the government: an amending budget for Social Security (PLFSSR).
The exchanges in the hemicycle start Monday and must end on February 17 at midnight, so that the text then passes to the Senate.
After the parliamentary break from February 20 to 26, the upper house dominated by the right will examine the text adopted by the National Assembly, or failing that, the initial text of the government, modified by the amendments that the Assembly will have had time to vote. and to which the executive is favourable.
