“This reform can still be rejected tomorrow.” Jordan Bardella, president of Agrupación Nacional, questioned the deputies on BFMTV on the eve of the vote against the government’s pension reform.
A common text was adopted by a joint committee on Wednesday, leading to a vote in both the Senate and the National Assembly. The Executive does not have an absolute majority in the Lower House, which calls into question a possible recourse to article 49.3 of the Constitution.
“If the government chooses to use 49.3 […] It would be a strong step, but above all a strong step against the French”, declared Jordan Bardella on our antenna.
The RN will vote on all motions of no confidence
“If 49.3 is compromised, if the government’s responsibility is compromised, we are going to take ours,” said the RN president, assuring that his party will use “all the levers at its disposal to block the majority.”
The deputies of the Rassemblement have already announced that they will vote on all motions of no confidence against the Executive, whether they come from the Republicans or the Nupes. “We prioritize the interests of the French before those of our ideas and our followers,” added Jordan Bardella on BFMTV.
“Deputies and senators have an appointment with the French”
To date and according to our accountant BFMTV, 224 deputies say they are ready to vote for the reform. But for the text of the law to be approved, a majority of 287 deputies is needed, unless many of them abstain, which would lower the majority required to approve the text.
For Jordan Bardella, the deputies and senators “have an appointment with the French” tomorrow while Elisabeth Borne’s government “is in the process of convincing itself that the reform will pass.”
“I call on all deputies who love the French, respect them and listen to what they say to reject this text,” he finally launched on BFMTV this Wednesday night.
