Jordan Bardella spoke on Sunday of “discussions” in the National Assembly on a possible motion of censure common to the oppositions if the government chose to use article 49.3 to pass its pension reform.
“There are discussions today in the National Assembly” on a joint motion of censure and “the government has a chance of falling”, affirmed the president of the National Rally (RN) in the program Questions politiques France Inter /franceinfo/The World.
“It is in the interest of all French people, of the French social model, that the oppositions perhaps agree to table a motion of censure which will bring down the government if the choice of 49.3 is made”, a added the far-right official.
“This reform has no guarantee of passing”, because “Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne do not have a majority”, assured Jordan Bardella, whose party has already tabled motions of censure but which have never been voted on. by other opposition groups.
The government can, on its pension reform project, have recourse to article 49.3 of the Constitution, which allows the adoption of the text without a vote but carries the risk of a motion of censure.
But this is not the hypothesis favored at this stage by the executive, which is counting on the right to pass its text by a vote.
“Demonstrating is a necessity,” said Mr. Bardella again about the mobilization of the unions, which are planning an eighth day of demonstrations on Wednesday. The head of the RN never took to the streets himself but always supported these demonstrations.
