This morning, I am the one that the government will undoubtedly use to pass its pension reform: the “49.3”. But beware, I am not article 49 indent 3. I am just paragraph 3 of article 49 of the Constitution. The 3rd paragraph, what.

You might as well be specific when talking about me, especially since people talk about me often… about as often as a government uses me, that is 87 times already since the beginning of the Fifth Republic. No doubt 88 soon as confirmed by the Minister of Public Accounts Gabriel Attal.

In reality, I should have already been at the heart of the news 2 years ago, already for this pension reform affair, but the Covid stole the show from me. And since then, there have been elections, with a government that finds itself without an absolute majority…

A government in the hands of the other parties: this reminds me of the good old days, with Michel Rocard, champion in all categories of Article 49. He used me 28 times between 88 and 91, placing the left very high on the podium. . For the government of Elisabeth Borne with such a fragile majority, it may be a bit the same atmosphere. The question is not even whether he will draw me, but when. Except that the rules have changed since Michel Rocard.
