A decision strongly contested by the left. After a tie in the Conference of Presidents, it was the referendum motion of the National Association (RN) that was maintained, in favor of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes). This provision, which makes it possible to call a referendum on certain bills, will be presented on Monday, February 6, during the opening of the debates in the chamber on the pension reform.
this choice [est] absolutely scandalous”, denounced André Chassaigne in the LCP. The leader of the communist deputies leans on the analytical table of the regulations of the National Assembly. It specifies that only one motion can be “presented”. The Nupes argue that they were the They were the first to do so, so the filing of the far-right provision should not have been validated according to them.
“There were no precedents”
However, article 122 of the regulations of the National Assembly indicates that only one motion can be “presented”. In fact, it does not specify “how to decide between” the two provisions, explains Yaël Braun-Pivet’s entourage, president of the National Assembly, to BFMTV.
Which also indicates that there was “no precedent” of a similar case. And he insists on a decision that corresponds to the Conference of Presidents, “which voted by majority”, and not to Yaël Braun-Pivet.
Still, this election puts the left in trouble. She thought her motion would be accepted. Shortly before the decision fell, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had provided after-sales service for the Marseille referendum, where he is present to demonstrate against the pension reform.
The rebels boasted of a “democratic and peaceful result”, and explained that “the only obstacle” to this is “Emmanuel Macron”, the President of the Republic who has the last word on this issue, even though the two houses of Parliament speak favorably.
This is now another hurdle for the Nupes: are you ready to vote for a provision put forward by the far right? When the latter voted for the motions of no confidence on the left, the majority did not hesitate to remove these two political families consecutively.
