A deputy was aware of “reservations” of the Council of State on the pension reform, certain aspects of it having nothing to do in the bill for the amending financing of social security according to the public institution.
A pension reform that has nothing to do with the Social Security financing bill? According to our information, the Council of State would have expressed “reservations” during the reading of its opinion on the text of the government.
According to a deputy, who was aware of this opinion, the public institution pointed out in particular the fact that several aspects of the reform, such as taking into account the hardship at work or the establishment of a “senior index” in companies, should not be included in the PLFSS, as they have no direct impact on revenue or expenditure in 2023.
The opinion of the Council of State concerning the government bill relating to the financing of social security does not have to be made public if the government so decides. This is the case for all texts related to the budget.
Another public institution that would take a skeptical look at the text: the Constitutional Council, as evidenced by the words of Laurent Fabius reported by The chained Duck. According to the newspaper, the current President of the Constitutional Council has warned: he could sanction measures that have nothing to do with the PLFRSS.
The debates around the pension reform ended Friday evening in the National Assembly, without a final vote of the deputies on the text. This will be examined from next week in the Senate.
