France leader, Insoumise Jean-Luc Mélenchon, said Friday “not” believe “the new Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, who promised earlier in the day not to use article 49.3 of the Constitution to approve laws without voting in the Assembly.
“In summary, verbal words, we do not believe you. We do not believe you, you do not intend to govern without forcing us, when the time comes,” said the founder of LFI at a press conference in Strasbourg.
For Jean-Luc Mélenchon, even if the Head of Government did not use article 49.3, other constitutional tools would still have at his disposal that would allow him to avoid the will of Parliament.
“Without any specific content”
In this regard, he cited several articles of the Constitution, which are not 49.3, which could allow the Executive to adopt the budget for blocked vote or by ordinances, in particular.
“Consequently, what Mr. Lecornu said is a good sense, we will say purely verbal and without any specific content,” he insisted on the rebel leader.
“We will believe it when he told us that he has renounced article 44, article 38, article 34 and article 47”. “How can we say that there is the beginning of the beginning of a concession in what the prime minister said? He questioned himself.
