Attempted after-sales service after a chaotic day at the National Assembly. Elisabeth Borne acted this Thursday on 49.3 so that the pension reform was approved without a vote, a failure by the prime minister, who had assured on Tuesday that “there was a majority.”
“It is a collective decision to point out that we could not play an essential reform by stipulating on possible changes in the position of the opposition deputies,” assumed the Matignon tenant on TF1.
“The best offer we can make”
The government could have ensured until the last moment that it wanted to go to the vote, it ended up bypassing this constitutional cartridge, with no guarantee of having enough votes in the chamber to retire at 64 years of age. “The account was not there,” he added.
“This text is the best proposal we can make,” argued Élisabeth Borne, after a compromise in a joint joint committee this Wednesday evening and then a vote in the Senate this Thursday morning.
However, the method is considered disastrous by the opposition but also by the camp of the presidential majority, after weeks of fighting with the left in Parliament and the unions in the street.
“Look for compromises”
The prime minister will now have to face several motions of no confidence, including a cross-party one that could be mostly full, although its adoption remains highly hypothetical for the moment. In case of adoption, the sexagenarian would be overthrown as well as his government. But not enough to feed regrets to believe it neither in the method nor in the background.
“I remain convinced that it is by seeking compromises, listening to the parliamentary groups that are willing to discuss that we can propose the best solutions for the French,” the head of government also judged.
Now it remains for Elisabeth Borne to find a way out of the crisis. The inter-union calls for an eighth day of mobilization this Thursday while thousands of people demonstrated in the Plaza de la Concordia after the announcement of 49.3.
