The nine members of the Constitutional Council have adopted the same agreement adopted on 14 April: no referendum will be held on reform of the retas. Why? Because, in accordance with Article 11 of the Constitution, the law analysed must contain a text on social policy. According to the Constitutional Council, however, reform of the retas does not fall within social policy. They also wanted to stress that when a referendum was requested on 13 April, the law still said that the official retirement age was 62 years, a text signed by President Emmanuel Macron on 15 April.

252 leftist parliamentarians called for a referendum on the "ban on bringing back more than 62 years". From both the street and Parliament, different means are being used to cancel out the extension of the retirement age to 64.

Option: Bill to revoke the reform

The centrist political group Liot presented the draft reform bill on 20 April. It will be analysed by Members on 8 June. Let us remember that the motion of censure tabled by this group had not passed anything beyond 20 March – nine votes did not impose the possibility of cancelling the reform of the retas. The result was surprising because the support received from the right side was broader than expected. Incidentally, Macron's poor protection was evident.

However, if this bill reached the parliamentary majority on 8 June, the text would pass to the Senate, and then the bill would not have to reach the majority – the senators voted by far in favour of reform of the retas: 193 in favour, 114 against and 38 abstentions.

The aim of the interunion is to keep the pressure on the street. Following this idea, by 6 June it has set the fourteenth mobilisation date. The day after 1 May the new day of strike was launched.
