French Prime Minister Elisabeth Born announced the adoption of a pension reform bill that would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. As RBC clarifies, Art. 49.3 of the Constitution, allowing the executive branch to pass any law without the consent of the legislature.
Bourne explained that in the National Assembly there is no certainty with several votes, and therefore it was impossible to risk that 175 hours of parliamentary debate would fail, and the compromise reached by the two chambers would be lost.
The publication indicates that after the activation of Art. 49.3 of the Constitution, the National Assembly has 24 hours to declare a vote of no confidence in Bourne. If this does not happen, the bill will be considered adopted.
We add that the pension reform is extremely unpopular in French society. According to an Ifop poll for Le Journal de Dimanche published recently, only 32% of French people support it. After the announcement of the preparation of the reform, thousands of protests and strikes took place in the country.
