Unsurprisingly, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, once again triggered article 49.3 of the Constitution in the National Assembly, Friday December 1, to obtain this time the final adoption without a vote of the bill to finance the Social security (PLFSS) for 2024. This is the 20th 49.3 triggered by the Prime Minister since 2022. The record remains for the moment still held by Michel Rocard, Prime Minister between 1988 and 1991, with 28 uses of 49.3 (at one time when it could however be used unlimitedly, which is no longer the case since the constitutional reform of 2008).
Faced with opposition which criticizes this trivialized use of 49.3, Elisabeth Borne believes that this mechanism is “the only solution to avoid blocking our institutions and our country.” La France insoumise has already announced the filing of a new motion of censure, which should, like the previous ones, be postponed. This will constitute definitive adoption of the PLFSS.
