It may not be just high school graduates who will be taking a test decisive for their future on Monday afternoon. The vote of possible motions of censure presented by the RN and the LIOT (Libertades, Independientes, Overseas and Territories) has all the decisive test for the future of the Borne government.
“It was written” it is with these words that Karl Olive deputy Renaissance de Yvelines spoke about the unpopularity of this reform on our antennas. If the government was indeed expecting such a massive wave of protests, it is hard to know whether it had foreseen the 10,000 tons of waste littering Parisian sidewalks or the blockade of Total’s largest refinery in Gonfreville-l’Orcher.
It is also hard to foresee such a violent comeback against certain politicians on all sides. In a few days, Eric Ciotti (LR), Mathieu Lefèvre (Renaissance), Amel Gacquerre (Union Center) have seen their offices degraded or even stoned as a sign of the tensions that reign in the country.
Bruno Cautrès, a CNRS and Cevipof researcher, speaks to him of “an umpteenth episode of a much more structural crisis”. After several months marked by an increase in the inflation rate that is directly reflected in the daily life of the French, this reform carried out with great blows of 49.3 has everything to symbolize a general weariness.

For this reason, in the face of this vote of confidence in the government, many figures in the majority do not hesitate to discredit attempted motions of censure and remind certain allies of their commitments. Karl Olive evokes a “betrayal” of the Republicans by calling for a “taking of responsibilities” while Bruno Le Maire launches an appeal in the columns of Paris for LR to “regain its spirit”. If Eric Ciotti has already assured that he would not vote for a motion of no confidence in order not to “add chaos to chaos”, some members of LR or even the majority have made it known that he would support the motions of no confidence.
It did not take long for the reform to be put to a vote, but the fact that the gap between the possibility or not of a motion of no confidence is only about twenty votes has everything to worry the executive. If the motions of censure do not prosper, the pension reform will be officially adopted. Currently they are the only way to prevent the approval of a law through 49.3.
Also note that Emmanuel Macron sees his popularity rating at the lowest (28%) since the yellow vest crisis, a time when the president had to review his entire political agenda. Elisabeth Borne also shows a record dissatisfaction rate of 67% according to the latest survey published in the JDD.
The Prime Minister in the front line of this reform for months could bear the brunt of this unpopularity, she who has already tied 11 times in 10 months in office for 49.3 and sees new stormy discussions lurking around a law on the ‘immigration’.
