Overview

  • Manuel Bompard said on RTL that LFI will file the motion next week if social-partner talks fail to secure a repeal of the pension reform
  • Because deputies can sign no more than three censure motions, LFI needs about 20 additional signatures from other groups to reach the required 58
  • The Socialist Party has not backed any of LFI’s six previous motions against Prime Minister François Bayrou’s government
  • LFI has invited all left-wing parties to co-sign the motion as a show of unified opposition
  • The initiative underscores rising tensions over the government’s decision to raise the retirement age to 64
