In a critical week, regarding his reform pension systems included in Franceat the same time, the parliamentary process of approving the relevant bill enters its final stage, and strike mobilizations follow each other, mainly in the sectors of transport, energy, education, garbage collection, etc.

At the parliamentary level, after the approval of the bill by the Senate, the question emerges whether the government will be able to get a majority at the level of the National Assembly.

According to the French television channel BFM, which says it polled 340 deputies who could vote for the bill (that is, those who do not belong to the far right of Marine Le Pen or the left of Jean-Luc Mélenchon), the required majority is not at all guaranteed. And this is because of the 340 deputies close to the presidential majority of Emmanuel Macron and the Republicans, only 189 said they decided to vote for the bill, which, however, requires 287 votes to pass. .

If a parliamentary majority is not gathered at the level of the National Assembly, then the government can exercise its constitutional right to legislate outside the parliamentary process. Government spokesman Olivier Véran said today that the government does not want to exercise this right, but it also does not want to give up its firm position in favor of reforming the French pension system, which includes, among other things, raising the retirement age for pensioners. French, from 62 years old, which he is today, to 64 years old.
