Program change for the executive.
On the night of Monday to Tuesday, the examination of the bill strengthening the tools for managing the health crisis - and establishing the vaccination pass -, supposed to end in the early morning, came to a halt.
A show of hands called around midnight put an end to the discussions, to the surprise of the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, and the presidential majority.

A setback for the government, which is paying the price for the lack of mobilization of its troops, not numerous enough in the chamber to compete with the oppositions.
A surprising turn, but not unprecedented for the Walkers, whose hiccups occurred during this legislature are already numerous.
Especially the past two years.
● In January 2020, Emmanuel Macron calls his majority to “humanity”
The year 2020 begins in pain for the elected representatives of the majority.
On January 30, the Palais Bourbon - led by the macronists - rejects a measure aimed at increasing employee leave from 5 to 12 days in the event of the death of a child.
The vote quickly led to an uproar, and deputies and ministers were reframed by Emmanuel Macron himself, who asked them to "
show humanity
".
The Minister of Labor at the time, Muriel Pénicaud, then recognizes an "
error
" in this choice of the majority, and the text is finally revised during the parliamentary shuttle.

In November 2020, the majority finds itself in the minority
Faced with the second wave of the epidemic, the government is submitting to the National Assembly a text aimed at extending the state of health emergency. But the bill quickly escapes the executive, which finds itself dominated in numbers by the opposition during the session. Faced with a too small majority in the early evening, the deputies present managed to vote a review clause as well as a reduction in the length of the extension of the state of emergency. "
The majority is unable to be assembled on a text on the emergency at 9 p.m.
", then criticizes the elected LR Philippe Gosselin. Back in the hemicycle, Olivier Véran then denounces a text "
destabilized
»And tries to correct his aim.
The next day, the majority voted again for a state of health emergency and this time re-established the desired date, under strong criticism from its opponents.

In May 2021, MoDem elected officials are resisting
During the night of Tuesday May 11 to Wednesday May 12, the deputies vote on the bill organizing the end of the state of emergency and ratifying the establishment of the health pass.
Against all expectations, the text was not adopted during the first deliberation - the elected MoDem, yet partners of La République en Marche, having decided to withdraw their support for the government text because of its lack of clarity.
A second deliberation is requested by the executive, which finally adopts overnight, with the support of its centrist ally, the initial text.

In June 2021, mayhem around the allowance for disabled adults
On June 17, the parliamentary niche of the Communists puts on the table the de-conjugalization of the allowance for disabled adults.
Against the advice of the government, the text is adopted a first time by the National Assembly, for lack of majority deputies present in sufficient number, then by the Senate.
Back at the Palais Bourbon, the text was once again the subject of dissension since the Agir group, despite being a member of the majority, decided to support it.
The government then uses the mechanism of the reserve of votes, which allows it to postpone the ballot time to mobilize its elected representatives, as well as the blocked vote, which allows it to speed up the procedure.

In October 2021, the vote is played by one vote
After heated debates, the macronists were scared the first time last October when examining the health vigilance bill, seeing the main article on the extension of the sanitary pass be adopted with only one vote - by 74 against 73. Later in the night, the entire text passes only ten votes apart, once again sending the majority back to its weak mobilization.
The almost-incident is worth to the deputies to be lectured by their leader, Christophe Castaner, who reproaches them regularly since their "
absenteeism
", unjustifiable in his eyes.
