The leader of the environmentalists, Marine Tondelier, also deflects, “II don’t answer that. ! “, before denouncing a maneuver by the National Rally: “ The RN, if they wanted to fight pensions, they could have done it in the street, in the hemicycle… In the legislative campaign, we didn’t understand anything about their business. They are doing their little PR stunt, so much the better for them. »
Adding the votes of the NFP and the RN would indeed allow us to repeal the reform that was forced through last year. But does the end justify the means?

The various parliamentary groups of the alliance are therefore trying to find a way around this, for example by preventing the text from going to a vote in the chamber, or even by counting on the help of the presidential camp which had caused an identical proposal from the independent Liot group to fail last June.
