They are back on the benches in the hemicycle. After a month of September without an extraordinary session -the first in twenty years- the deputies return. On the menu this Monday: a debate on Ukraine from 4:00 p.m., then the start of the examination of the reform of unemployment insurance.
This is intended, in particular, to vary the compensation conditions for the unemployed according to the economic situation. Although the presidential majority in the National Assembly is relative, this bill should pass without too much difficulty thanks to the votes of the Les Républicains (LR) party.
The shadow of 49.3
What turned out to be the best support of the Renaissance MPs this summer during the examination of the purchasing power package. But the texts presented by the majority in the coming days will be less consensual. In the first place, the Budgets, whose examination begins on Monday, October 10. The elected LRs, also in the midst of an internal campaign, have already made it known that they would vote against.
A situation that could push the government to force the use of 49.3. Without a majority vote, this “would leave few options other than its use,” warned Gabriel Attal, Delegate Minister of Public Accounts. Two other texts will be subject to the same uncertainties: the social security financing bill (PLFSS) and the one “related to the acceleration of renewable energy production.”
Thus, the “new method” of consultations promised by the government – with the creation, for example, of the National Refoundation Council (CNR) – will be put to the test, between the temptation to use 49.3 and the imperative to find compromises. .
What about Julien Bayou and Adrien Quatennens?
In this new school year, observers will also be attentive to the left of the hemicycle, after a month of September marked by the casualties of Adrien Quatennens and Julien Bayou. The rebel and environmentalist deputies of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) are accused of violence; marital for the former, psychological for the latter.
Will they be present in the hemicycle this Monday? If so, will they step back, leaving the word to their comrades? Will the opposition take advantage of their possible presence to hit better on the left? So many questions to which Monday should give answers.
