last straight line for Emmanuel Macron

Thursday March 16, a few hours before the vote in the National Assembly on the pension reform project, Emmanuel Macron remains determined. “His determination and involvement are total. At this very moment at the Élysée, he is bringing together the executives of this majority for the second time today. We are really in the moment of the final discussions, the final counts“, explains Guillaume Daret, in duplex from the Élysée Palace.

The threat of dissolution

According to information from the journalist, Emmanuel Macron said “that he wanted to go to the vote“. So, “he is trying to build something with Les Républicains. He also lets the threat of a dissolution hover to try to dissuade the most recalcitrant“, underlines Guillaume Daret. Before continuing: “He is faced with a very complicated dilemma. Is it not better to use 49.3, certainly unpopular, but which allows its reform to be adopted. Rather than risk a vote that could be lost and there would be far-reaching consequences there too.”
