The Constitutional Council to express itself
As soon as the rejection was announced, the left-wing elected representatives immediately held up signs in the hemicycle proclaiming “64 years old, no”, « on continue » or « RIP » as a shared initiative referendum, which they want to launch. The Nupes also chanted “resignation, resignation”addressed to the ministers present, primarily Elisabeth Borne.
The motion of censure of the extreme right has collected only 94 votes out of the 287 necessary. The left like the RN group have already announced referrals to the Constitutional Council, which will have to decide before the promulgation of the highly contested reform project.
Some 250 parliamentarians, mainly from the left, are also calling for a shared initiative referendum (RIP) to “affirm that the legal retirement age cannot be set beyond 62 years”.
