Pension reform ignites the Assembly, doctors’ strike and shooting in the United States

Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.

In the National Assembly, the clock is ticking on pension reform. Whether or not the deputies have completed the examination of the bill, the discussions will end Friday at midnight on first reading. The text will then go to the Senate. While the presidential camp continues to denounce the “obstruction” of the left, the Nupes announced Monday evening to withdraw “a thousand amendments” to advance in the examination of the text. It remains to be seen whether this will allow MPs to go as far as Article 7, which relates to the postponement of the retirement age from 62 to 64 years. Nothing is certain yet because, even following this announcement, there are still more than 14,000 amendments on the counter.

Anger does not fall back into the health sector. All the unions of liberal practitioners are once once more calling for the closure of medical practices and a demonstration in Paris this Tuesday. They want to get better rates and block a reform that facilitates access to other caregivers. In the capital, the procession will set off from 1 p.m. between the Ministry of Health and the Senate, where a bill on “direct access” to certain paramedics (nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists) must be examined in end of the day.

The United States is still bereaved by a shooting. Three people were killed and five injured on Monday when a man opened fire on a campus in Lansing, west of Detroit. He fired shortly following 8 p.m. at a university building, before moving on foot to another building where gunshots were also heard, said Chris Rozman, acting campus police chief. The suspect then fled.
