Faced with the risk of a rejection of his pension reform, Emmanuel Macron decided to approve the text without the vote of the deputies, resorting to 49.3. According to information from BFMTV, the Head of State declared during the Council of Ministers this Thursday that his “political interest would have been to go to the vote.”
“Among all of you, it is not me who is risking your place or your seat, but I consider that as things stand, the financial and economic risks are too great, so I authorize you to use 49.3,” he added. .
The executive hesitated for a long time to use this constitutional tool that allowed the adoption of a text without the vote of the deputies, chaining the meetings before making their final decision.
The responsibility of the committed government
This has many consequences: it exposes the government to a motion of no confidence that, if approved by the deputies, would lead to his resignation.
Anticipating the presentation of a motion of no confidence, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne assured that “a vote will indeed take place.”
“Within a few days, I have no doubt, the Government’s commitment to responsibility will be answered by one or more motions of censure. Therefore, a vote will be taken, as it should be. So it will be parliamentary democracy that will have the last word. ”, He developed in front of the National Assembly when shooting 49-3.
