Thursday March 16, Elisabeth Borne announced the use of article 49.3 of the Constitution in order to have the pension reform adopted. Motions of censure have been tabled in the National Assembly. What could be the consequences for the government?
The executive is going through a period of turbulence with the fear of a motion of no confidence which could overthrow the government. The National Rally has filed its own. But the one that gives the government cold sweats is the cross-partisan motion carried by the group of independents “LIOT”. Signed by 91 deputies, it aims to bring together elected officials from all sides. Laure Lavalette, RN deputy for Var, explains: “What we want: is to bring down, in the interest of the French, this unjust, brutal reform.“To be adopted, the motion of censure must reach an absolute majority, set at 287 votes.
The hypothesis of a dissolution
The future ofELisabeth Borne is currently on hold. Chosen by Emmanuel Macron for his ability to build compromises. She advocated consultation throughout the debate on pensions. So, can she remain at the head of the government? Her majority gave her a standing ovation on Thursday, March 16, and she remains supported by her people. But without a majority, the hypothesis of a dissolution resurfaces with new legislative elections at stake. For Benjamin Morel, a specialist, this scenario “remains unlikely“.
