Airs of epilogue, two days from a new inter-union mobilization? This is what the executive hoped for. This Sunday, June 4, the first two implementing decrees for the pension reform were published in the Official newspaper, including the one gradually bringing the legal age from 62 to 64, the most controversial measure in the text. A publication which also comes a few days before the examination of the bill in the National Assembly of the Liot group to repeal the reform. A busy week.
Thirty-one implementing texts must be published before September 1 so that the controversial pension reform can be implemented on time. This Sunday, the first two appeared in the Official Journal.
A first decree on “the gradual increase in the retirement age from 62 to 64 years”, and a second on “early departures, in particular with regard to long careers”.
The publication, two days before the fourteenth day of action on Tuesday, could help mobilize the troops, a demonstration at the call of the inter-union for which the decline in the legal age to 64 is the main red line.

New passes of arms in sight in the hemicycle
The deputies must also examine, Thursday, June 8, a bill repealing the reform, on the initiative of the parliamentary group Liot. A text emptied of its substance in committee, but which will give rise to new passes of arms during its examination in the hemicycle.
Social anger is therefore not running out of steam and this new day of action may well not be the last baroud so hoped for by the executive. This new day of action will be a good indicator of the mobilization against the pension reform.
I think this idea of ”last episode before summer” is important…
