Overview
- Government spokesperson Maud Bregeon said an amendment will be filed to let deputies consider extending the pause to long-career workers.
- The debate is scheduled for Wednesday, 12 November, as part of the 2026 Social Security budget review in the National Assembly.
- The suspension currently applies only to standard entitlement retirees, with the amendment set to spell out the categories that could be added.
- Left parties pressed for the inclusion of long careers, with the Socialists tying their non-censure to the suspension.
- If the Assembly cannot finish its work Wednesday, the bill moves to the Senate under constitutional deadlines, and the government signaled openness to savings-funded alternatives to higher medical co-payments.
