The pension reform was adopted by Parliament following the rejection of the motion of censure, which pushes left-wing MPs to think of a new strategy to try to repeal all or part of the law. This is why the LFI and Nupes deputies plan to seize the Constitutional Council this Tuesday morning.

After the rejection of a first motion of censure tabled by a transpartisan movement led by the LIOT group and a second by the National Rally, the major protesters of the pension reform are preparing for a new strategy to try to repeal the law, or at least part of it. The Nupes deputies and more particularly those of the France Insoumise, under the impetus of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, intend to seize the Constitutional Council this Tuesday morning.

The left also wants to organise a referendum of shared initiative, a challenge that is notably difficult to carry out since this proposal requires more than 4 million signatures. The president of the Insoumise France, however, sees a necessity and puts everything on popular pressure.

"The time has come to move to popular censorship"

"Since the process of parliamentary censure has not worked, the time has come to move to popular censorship. Under these conditions, it is by the methods of social democracy that the decision will have to be imposed. Because naturally, it is strictly useless to moan at the prince's feet to ask him to withdraw the law," said Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

A popular censorship that will therefore go through the radicalization of the movement with the blockade of refineries, oil depots or the public sector such as the SNCF or the National Education. A next deadline, Thursday's mobilization, is already in the minds of opponents of the reform.
