The government has been hammering it for a few days now: the use of 49.3, on pension reform, is not an option.
At least, far from ideal.
Way to be firm, serene, while the final vote should take place this week.
Anyway, "
we will not give up our pension reform
", warns Olivier Véran.
Invited on LCI, the government spokesperson thus believes that
“the vote by the Senate on our bill shows that there is a way for us to obtain an agreement in a
joint joint committee
”
.
He adds: “
The 49.3 is not a taboo, it is a constitutional tool, but it is not an option that we use either.
It's not a tool you would have in your pocket, ready to draw.

"Text Enrichment"
Guest on France Inter, Gabriel Attal, assures him: "
If everyone is consistent with their commitments, there will be a majority to vote for this text
", wants to believe the Minister of the Budget.
“We don't want to use 49.3.
Today, we do not see why it should be.
This, argues Gabriel Attal,
"because The
Republicans in the
Senate voted for the text"
.
“The LRs
of the National Assembly are a priori part of the same political family, are committed behind their presidential candidate who proposed an even tougher reform: at 65 years old.”
And if, after all the negotiations, the presidential camp saw the favorable vote of the right-wing group in the National Assembly slip away?
“
We have not necessarily made concessions to LR
”, retorts Gabriel Attal who prefers to welcome “
an enrichment of the text
”.

On France Info, the Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, engages in turn: “
It would be lunar for a party to vote for a reform in the Senate and not in the Assembly.
I would not like the LR deputies to forget what makes up the culture of their party: you cannot say you are on the right and refuse the balance of public finances or the balance of the pay-as-you-go system.
