Pressed by socialist demands, Sébastien Lecornu sacrificed the totem of pensions, until now untouchable, on Tuesday announcing the suspension of the only structural reform of the second quinquennium.
The French head of government Lecornu stops the rise of the retirement age for the time being. He can score points with the socialists. If he succeeds in this way a way out of the political crisis in France?, asks Ralf Klingsieck.
Lecornu has revealed in his first monitoring session before the National Assembly the time and the way to implement this proposal. It will be through an amendment to the draft budget law for social security and, as the Prime Minister has pointed out, "the Parliament will decide", who will have the last word.
Sébastien Lecornu announced that the suspension of the pension reform would be debated within the framework of the PLFSS. But in order for it to be adopted, there is much to bet that the Prime Minister must resort to the 49-3 which the Socialists nevertheless ask him not to use. The latter might well be caught in their own trap.
