The debate on pension reform ends this Friday, February 17, 2023 in the National Assembly. Which deputies position themselves for or against the bill?
It is an understatement to say that the atmosphere in the National Assembly was electric for two weeks. Two weeks during which the pension reform bill was studied, in an almost permanent din, where invectives sometimes took over parliamentary work. The debates dragged on due to the thousands of amendments tabled and a global vote on the text could not take place. The members of the government majority stubbornly defended each line when the Nupes tried to fight by all means this reform, which brought millions of French people to the streets. This bill is indeed the subject of strong popular protest, reflected in major strikes and demonstrations since mid-January. A majority of workers say they are against this pension reform (67% according to a CSA survey for CNews February 15), promised by Emmanuel Macron during the presidential campaign.

What methodology is used?
The vote on the whole pension reform bill has not yet taken place. Thus, to determine which deputy is for or against this text, Internet user was based on the first important vote of the deputies: that concerning the introductory article of the amending social security financing bill for 2023. Why this vote? This is the first article of the bill and it presents the general spirit of the text with its main budgetary orientations (details here). The parliamentarians who voted in favor therefore show their support for the reform.
486 deputies took part (voting details here). The deputies who were not present for this election are therefore not included in our table. More generally, the deputies of the government majority (Renaissance, MoDem, Horizons) defend the reform, when the opposition groups (RN, LFI, PS, EELV, PCF, LIOT) are against. Only LR is divided on the issue between defenders, opponents and abstainers.
