The La France insoumise MP from Val-de-Marne and president of the LFI group in the National Assembly was the guest of “8h30 franceinfo”, Thursday November 28, 2024.

Mathilde Panot, La France insoumise MP for Val-de-Marne and president of the LFI group in the National Assembly, was the guest of “8h30 franceinfo” Thursday November 28, 2024. Repeal of the pension reform, possible censorship of the government, “immunity” of the Israeli Prime Minister in France… She answered questions from Bérengère Bonte and Jérôme Chapuis.

“Sooner or later”, the rebels will succeed in “repealing” the pension reform

While the La France insoumise deputies present their bill on Thursday to repeal the pension reform, as part of their parliamentary niche, Mathilde Panot denounces “a stroke of strength” Macronists and the right. Some 950 amendments have been tabled to slow down the debates, while the rebels have until midnight Thursday evening to pass their text, which plans to reduce the legal retirement age from 64 to 62 years. “Sooner or later we will succeed in repealing this pension reform”assures Mathilde Panot.

Government censorship: “we have enough to ensure the continuity of the State”

The government of Michel Barnier “will not make it through the end of the year”, “in all cases”affirms Mathilde Panot. The Prime Minister is under threat of a motion of censure next week, when the social security budget is approved. “They can explain to us that it’s going to be a catastrophe, a rain of locusts, a nuclear accident. But the reality is that we have what it takes to ensure the continuity of the State”assures the president of the LFI deputies.

In the event of an overthrow of the government, Mathilde Panot wishes “that Lucie Castets be appointed to Matignon with a government of the New Popular Front”.

“Immunity” by Benyamin Netanyahu in France: “The signal sent is disastrous”

“Obviously” that Benyamin Nétanyhaou “must be stopped”if he sets foot on French soil, believes Mathilde Panot. The Israeli Prime Minister is the subject of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court “for crimes against humanity and war crimes” in the Gaza Strip.

The statements made on Wednesday by the Quai d’Orsay, referring to its “immunity”, “put France to shame”adds the leader of the rebellious deputies. “This is absolutely false”according to her, and “the signal sent by France is disastrous”.
