On the front of fuel shortages, in the face of social mobilization or in the National Assembly, the government is caught in a week that some consider to be perilous.
Within the executive, some evoke a perilous week, of all the dangers, so much so that Emmanuel Macron and Élisabeth Borne stepped up to the plate in the media, from Sunday October 16. On TF1, the Prime Minister called on the strikers not to block the country. The President of the Republic, in an interview with Les Echos, appeals to the spirit of responsibility. The executive has been promising for a week that the return to normal will take place in the services, it is quite the opposite that is happening.
The executive therefore seeks to regain control of the public to avoid contagion. In the National Assembly, another front is opening up for the government. The debates around the 2023 Budget are bogged down, the authority of the executive is even contested within its own majority. The hiccups multiply. The government will appeal to 49.3 to pass the budget bill, explains France Televisions journalist Anne Bourse.
