The executive, not being sure of having a majority in the Assembly, chose 49.3 to have its pension reform adopted on Thursday March 16. According to Emmanuel Macron, the financial risks were too great if the reform did not pass.
A Marseillaise to destabilize the Prime Minister and signs that display “64 years old, it’s no”, this is the image that will remain of a crazy day, Thursday March 16, when the government drew 49.3 to pass its pension reform. At 3:10 p.m., Elisabeth Borne went up to the Assembly under the boos of the deputies. Finally, the reform will not be put to the vote. At 3:20 p.m., the Nupes leaves the hemicycle before the end of the speech and does not take off.
No majority in the Assembly
“Pushing through a pension reform that no one wants (…) is a sign that they are sinking the whole country into a regime crisis“, declared Mathilde Panot, president of the LFI group at the National Assembly. Republicans are also questioning their government. However, everything had started well. At 10:40 a.m., the Senate votes on the text. But in the Assembly no majority is decided. The meetings of ministers follow one another and finally, Emmanuel Macron does not wish to take any risk.
