“We will discuss it, as is the rule, it is a constitutional possibility available to the government”she said. However, the use of 49.3, that is to say adoption without a vote, “this is not the will of the Prime Minister, and we will let the debates take place as long as necessary” in the National Assembly, said the government spokesperson. The rule is that the use of 49.3 is preceded by a deliberation in the Council of Ministers.
Maud Bregeon suggested that the constitutional article could be used to preserve the government’s objectives. “The limit is the framework that was set by the Prime Minister in the general policy speech, with 60 billion euros in savings to be made”she said.
