Every day, those in the know debate the news around Agathe Lambret and Renaud Dély.

The themes

Suspension of the pension reform: What consequences? Towards a non-censorship agreement with the socialists?

The Borne reform will not have resolved the question of pensions: Sébastien Lecornu reopened the debate by proposing, conditionally, to suspend the very unpopular 2023 reform and by inviting the social partners to think about what comes next. Acknowledging the request of the PS and the CFDT, the Prime Minister proposed to freeze the Borne reform at its current stage: a legal starting age of 62 years and nine months and a minimum contribution period of 170 quarters. If the suspension proposed by Mr. Lecornu is implemented, the 1964 generation, which was to leave at age 63, will be the first to be winners.

Will France convert to parliamentarism?

Sébastien Lecornu has made a commitment not to use article 49.3 either on the budget or on other texts submitted to Parliament. This means that the parliamentary debate must reach its conclusion and that parliamentarians will always have the last word. Can this change in the mode of operation encourage parliamentarians to negotiate compromises? Can it work and be effective? Or, on the contrary, are the parliamentary debates, and first of all that of the budget, in danger of getting bogged down?
