Two 49.3 in twenty-four hours. On the first day of the examination of the social security finance bill (PLFSS), Thursday, October 20, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, burst at night, at 7:45 p.m., in the hemicycle of the ‘National Assembly to start again the “responsibility of [his] government”. After the first time on the finance bill on Wednesday, the government’s heading triggered this constitutional provision – which allows you to adopt a text without vote – on the revenue of the social security budget.
Faced with a sparse assembly, Elisabeth Borne used the same phrase turns as the day before to justify the pressed trigger of this 49.3. After welcoming the “constructive debates” which were able to be held in committee, allowing “to enrich the text with the adoption of majority amendments as oppositions”, the Prime Minister regretted since the gallery of the assembly that the deputies “distorted” part of the text in session.
And, as the day before, all the deputies of the new popular, ecological and social union (Nuts) deserted the benches of the hemicycle to the statement of the word “responsibility” in the mouth of the Prime Minister. From the Salle des Quatre-Colonnes and surrounded by many elected officials on the left, the leader of “rebellious” deputies, Mathilde Panot, once again denounced a “force passage on the National Assembly”. “We refuse this method which is a brutality to the democratic debate,” said the elected representative of Val-de-Marne, before announcing the deposit of a new motion of censorship by the left. A motion that will be defended next week by the president of the socialist group, Boris Vallaud. The National Rally (RN) said he would not deposit this time so as not to generate a “motion tunnel”.
“always give the debate time”
A few hours earlier, the 49.3 already lived in all the spirits, to the point of vampirizing the discussion on the bottom of the text. As of Wednesday, the government spokesman Olivier Véran announced, at the end of the Council of Ministers, that the executive could interrupt the debates before their term, while nearly 3,200 amendments were deposited on the text.
Despite this threat, the Minister of Health, François Braun, showed himself, at the start of the discussions, much more going. “The ball is now in your camp (…). Debate, progress, let’s make majorities of ideas exist. For my part, I am ready,” he declared to the deputies. The president of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, had split a similar message on Thursday morning, calling for “always giving time to the debate”. The executive will have decided otherwise. To protest against this throbbing threat of 49.3, the clip defended a motion of rejection prior to the text, finally rejected by 189 votes against 96.
