\"\" The Macron government\u2019s attempt to force Article 49:3 of the French constitution in order to impose his pension reform bill onto the parliament and the citizenry is backfiring and could throw France into unnecessary chaos.<\/p>\n

Is this the end of Macron\u2019s reign, and what does a motion of censure means for France? Here\u2019s a quick recap of where France stands after the horrid announcement of the invocation of constitutional Article 49:3 \u2013 which could throw France into total chaos\u2026<\/p>\n

Was it overconfidence, or because the parliament refused the vote on the \u201cPension Reform Bill\u201d proposed by Macron\u2019s government? The decision to use Article 49, paragraph 3 of the Constitution to adopt the bill\u00a0without a vote \u2013\u00a0<\/em>has triggered the exasperated opposition, both left and right, to move forward with the decision to propose motions of censure.<\/p>\n

An agreement between the different political parties would leave no escape route for Macron\u2019s government if the\u00a0motion to censure<\/strong>\u00a0was to be agreed upon by the majority on Monday when it\u2019s expected to be voted.<\/p>\n

The crisis is real!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday in the French Parliament, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne was met with an \u201ca cappella\u201d French national anthem coming from the opposition benches, as she announced she will once more be using Macron\u2019s favorite \u201clegislative weapon\u201d \u2013 Article 49, paragraph 3 of the French Constitution \u2013 to force one of Macron\u2019s most unpopular bills on pension reform, pushed by an EU undercurrent, forcing the French citizenry to work an extra 2 years until the age of 64 before being able to retire.<\/p>\n

Over the last past weeks, large protests in the French capital and across the country were hugely under-reported by our mass media, with numbers of attendees undermined by the government and their MSM mouthpiece, a glaring sign of discontent Macron arrogantly chose to ignore. By invoking 49:3, he didn\u2019t fail to galvanise the inter-union, and\u00a0here\u2019s how the next few days will unfold\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

As it is customary when imposing a 49:3, opposition members have 24 hours to file their motion of censure which is taking place today before 15:30. The actual vote will take place on Monday 20th March, and a verdict is to be expected on the very same day.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with the French motion of censure, it is the primary means available to a parliament to show its disapproval of government policy and force it to resign. In other words: to show its distrust of the government in place.<\/p>\n

The motion must receive the votes of the absolute majority of the members of the National Assembly \u2013 currently 287 \u2013 to be effective. In this case, the bill would be canceled and Macron\u2019s government would be forced to resign.<\/p>\n

A trans-partisan motion of censure is being filed as we speak, and if indeed it were to be adopted by the majority, the French government would fall.\u00a0 The last time such a motion was adopted in France was in 1962.<\/p>\n

Should the motion to censure be successful, Macron would have three options to choose from:<\/p>\n

1. He could renew his confidence in Elisabeth Borne and choose to appoint her again<\/strong>
\n2. Form another government, or<\/strong>
\n3. Dissolve the National Assembly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Should Monday\u2019s motion to censure be unsuccessful, there is also the option to appeal the 49:3 via the Constitutional Council.<\/p>\n

In the event the government manages to survive, it will likely do so by carrying on with Macron\u2019s mandate with no authority whatsoever.<\/p>\n

But more crucially, if the motion fails it\u2019s more than likely we will see the radicalisation of the protest in the streets, as the unions and the people are not prepared to let Macron force his bills onto the people of France.<\/p>\n

Another possibility the \u201ccommunist\u201d\u00a0 and the \u201cleft\u201d have looked into is to approach the Constitutional Council to demand a referendum of shared initiative (RIP) to counter the reform prior to the 2027 election, a move that would allow the people of France to decide for themselves. The option of the shared initiative referendum has several stages.<\/p>\n

It is first necessary to bring together 185 parliamentarians to table a bill, something the opposition already has.<\/p>\n

Upon a possible validation from the Elders of the Council, the RIP initiative would have to be \u201csupported by a tenth of the voters\u201d, i.e. 4.87 million people in France, whose signatures must be collected within nine months. It is therefore a complex procedure that has never been completed since its introduction.<\/p>\n

The Constitutional Council will then have to ensure that the text does not concern a subject already rejected by referendum \u2013 which is not the case for this pension reform right now \u2013 nor that the law is\u2026 already enacted.<\/p>\n

The window of opportunity is therefore very short.<\/p>\n

Currently the \u201cRassemblement National\u201d of Marine le Pen (RN), Les Insoumis, the Communists, and \u2018The Libert\u00e9s, Ind\u00e9pendants, Outre-mer & Territoires ( LIOT) party, already have their motion ready to be filed.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the LIOT group is ranked in the center and therefore is more likely to be supported on both the left and the right of the hemicycle, therefore if the entire left bloc and the RN were to vote for this motion, Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon would withdraw the Nupes motion \u201cin favor of that of LIOT\u201d to \u201cgive the greatest possible chances to censorship\u201d.<\/p>\n
