Pensions: for Yaël Braun-Pivet, the repeal proposal is “obviously” inadmissible – Pension reform

The President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet ruled that the bill brought by the independent parliamentary group Liot aimed at repealing the pension reform was “obviously” inadmissible and asked the LFI President of the Finance Committee Éric Coquerel to challenge it.

“It is up to the chairman of the finance committee who is seized of this question of article 40 to pronounce the inadmissibility” since “obviously the text of the law constitutes a burden for our public finances and therefore contravenes this article” , estimated on Sud Radio the president of the Assembly.

“It is his mission and I hope that, like me, he will fulfill it fully”, she added, before insisting: “I cannot conceive of him taking any decision other than inadmissibility” .

“I will respect the prerogatives of each other at each stage and indeed, in the hemicycle, it is I who am accountable for the application of article 40”, she also warned, in case Éric Coquerel would not pronounce the inadmissibility. “My role is to enforce the law and the institutions,” she said.

End of inadmissibility of Éric Coquerel

Article 40 of the Constitution provides that the proposals and amendments of parliamentarians are not admissible if they entail a reduction in revenue or an increase in public charges.

“You will still have to explain to me this logic which requires that the office of the Assembly chaired by Yaël Braun-Pivet validates this bill including under article 40 (art 89-1 of the regulations) but then considers so certain that it would be up to me to invalidate it, ”Eric Coquerel replied immediately on Twitter.

Invited to react to these remarks on Sud Radio, Yaël Braun-Pivet replied: “Relations between a President of the National Assembly and the President of the Finance Committee are not settled here. I’m going to talk to him. »
