The constitutional debate grows in France

In France, the constitutional article, which the government of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne applied to pass a bill 3 times in October without a parliamentary vote, provoked opposition from the opposition and caused the existence of said article to be questioned in a system democratic.

The Borne government, which does not have an absolute majority in the National Assembly in France, activated paragraph 3 of article 49 of the constitution, which allows a bill to go through parliament without a vote 3 times in October. The opposition harshly criticizes this step by the government, and every time it presents a motion of censure against the government. In the parliament, which consists of 577 deputies, the motions of censure were rejected because they did not obtain the majority vote.

Following the introduction of the constitutional article, he wonders if the next step for the ruling wing in France will be to dissolve parliament and if the French will go to the polls for the third time this year.

Assoc. Dr. Benjamin Morel, commenting that “France has one of the most limited parliaments in the entire Western world,” said: “Firstly, the opposition must form the majority, and secondly, they must agree on the text of the motion of censure. This is too difficult. So, for now, the government life insurance policy in France,” he said. (AA)
