The president of Constitutional Council also criticized Emmanuel Macron on the rule of law during his speech, explaining that the institution is not “a chamber of appeal for the choices of Parliament, it is the judge of the constitutionality of laws”. “In an advanced democratic regime like ours, we can always modify the state of law but, to do this, we must always ensure that we respect the rule of law,” he added.
