From Monday, February 6, the text on the pension reform project will arrive in the hemicycle of the National Assembly. In view of the general mobilization in the country, calls for strikes to underline the dissatisfaction with the postponement of the legal age of departure to the age of 64, the task promises to be more than complex for the deputies of the ‘opposition. Indeed, more than 7000 amendments, mostly from the Nupes, must be debated and voted on, the work of reflection promises to be colossal this week.
