Before the “obstruction” of the left, the Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, caused this Friday, July 11 in the Senate the procedure for the “blocked vote” on the bill that reforms the public audiovisual, hoping to adopt the text before the end of the extraordinary session, scheduled at midnight.
Little more than half an hour after the resumption of debates, Rachida Dati announced that the Government asked the Senate to “decide by a single vote especially the text”, “in the application of article 44 paragraph 3 of the Constitution.”
This procedure rarely used makes it possible to accelerate the debates organizing only one vote, about the text and amendments that the Government chooses to maintain.
“Weakens our public audiovisual service”
“After more than seven hours of debate, we could only discuss 31 amendments about this text. We saw this morning (…) of obstruction, always obstruction and even obstruction,” he justified.
Since then, the debates have been suspended.
“Rachida Dati rejects the debate on its reform of the public audiovisual,” denounced the PS group about X. According to this blocked vote, “it announces its real objective: weakening our audiovisual public service,” he added, recalling that the debate had already been able to take place in the assembly, due to a rejection movement voted at the beginning of the discussions.
