The seventh trade union-organized nationwide protest in France against Macron’s plan to raise the French retirement age saw “angry” confrontations with police in Paris, as the legislation cleared a key hurdle in the Senate.
a key hurdle in passing the pension legislation, which could become law as early as Thursday despite desperate attempts from left-wing lawmakers from socialist, green, and communist groups to derail the legislative process.
“You decided to devitalize the parliamentary function by adding all the procedures offered to you by the regulation and the Constitution. You probably hoped that we would leave the reform in the hands of the coalition right, but the French are not fooled, neither are we: we will not give up, and we will not let them go,” leftist lawmakers repeated one after the other for hours.
However, despite such filibustering tactics, the legislation was ultimately put up for a vote, which the governmentPrime Minister Elizbeth Borne, who spearheaded the legislation in the Senate, said: “I am sure that there is a majority in Parliament to vote on this text, which is necessary for our country. At the time of the vote on this project, everyone will take their responsibilities and a majority of parliamentarians will engage behind this text.
The bill will now be sent to a joint committee of National Assembly members and Senators on Wednesday in hopes of coming to an agreement on the text of the legislation.
