A few parliamentarians sang a song associated with the Yellow Vests after the vote against Article 2 of the pension reform on Tuesday. A behavior denounced by the President of the National Assembly.
“We are here, we are here…”. For a few seconds, several opposition deputies sang this song, widely associated with the yellow vests movement, after the vote against article 2 of the pension reform, which provided for the creation of a “senior index.”
“We’re here, we’re here… Even if Macron doesn’t want us, we’re here… for the honor of the workers and for a better world, even if Macron doesn’t want us, we’re here… “, intoned “a few” deputies, note our colleagues from LCP.
“Where do you think you are?”
They were quickly taken over by the President of the National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet. “My dear colleagues, where do you think you are? It’s incredible! Your attitude is unacceptable,” she said.
Because if the deputies can take up the words of songs, like the rebellious elected François Piquemal who quoted JUL and SCH this week, they cannot sing directly in the hemicycle.
The deputies quickly stopped singing and the debates resumed in peace. The vote against article 2 also aroused much applause in the hemicycle.
The debates on the pension reform will resume this Wednesday, from 3 p.m. They will end, last deadline, Friday at midnight.
In an attempt to speed up the debates, the Green MPs announced that they were going to withdraw their amendments before Article 7 so that this part of the text, which anchors in stone the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64 in 2030, be debated.
