New use of “49.3”, new presentation of motion of censure. This Thursday night, Elisabeth Borne decided again to apply this paragraph of the constitution that allows the executive to interrupt the debates in the National Assembly and dispense with her vote, compromising the responsibility of the government. This time it is about facilitating the validation of your Social Security financing bill. The response from the left opposition was immediate. Nupes presents a second motion of censure.
Mathilde Panot takes a step forward
The deputy elected in Val-de-Marne, Mathilde Panot, president of the group of insubordinate France, has confirmed this in front of the cameras after the intervention of the Prime Minister in the Perchoir of the Palais-Bourbon. “We will resubmit a no-confidence motion. Double 49.3 equals a double no-confidence motion,” she said, among other leftist elected officials.
“We reject this method that is brutal with respect to the democratic debate that also happens after several votes won by the different groups that surround me. We repeat it to the government: we will never get used to the passage in force such that she (Elisabeth Borne, note from the editor) yes. It is unacceptable to have ‘49.3’, which, moreover, always arrives faster in the texts. Perhaps in the end, in the first minute of the “examination of a text, the Prime Minister will file it ‘49.3’. These are unacceptable conditions in a democracy”, developed the parliamentarian.
The Rassemblement national, on the other hand, does not provide for an additional deposit.
The first motions considered on Monday
The day before, Elisabeth Borne had already made use of the “49.3” relative to the first part of the state budget. The Nupes reacted immediately with a motion of censure, imitated this Thursday by the National Association.
These two motions will be considered on Monday afternoon. Its chances of success are almost nil: the two main opposition forces have ruled out voting for the other’s text, and the Republicans do not intend to align themselves with either of them.
