49-3

Elisabeth Borne, the prime minister, used the article 49 paragraph 3 of the constitution to bypass the parliament and raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 years without a vote from the parliament.

What do you think of it ?

  1. In my opinion, the 49.3 law is completely undemocratic because there is no vote of the deputies on the reform in this case the reform of the pensions. Moreover the great majority of the French is against, as a consequence of the use of the 49.3 law the strikes and demonstrations will continue.

  2. First of all, the Prime Minister should have had the text voted on because the French were unhappy with Article 49 paragraph 3.
    However, if she had not used this article, the text of the reform would not have been written into the constitution.
    In my opinion, Emmanuel Macron should have made a referendum to the French people because the text of the pensions is an important text. Moreover, Emmanuel Macron was not elected on his political program but to block the far right, which means that many French people do not agree with Emmanuel Macron.

  3. some think that this is no longer just a fight for the workers, it's a fight for democracy or even that it's an insult to the French people but for me if the opinion of our representatives shows us that this must be approved then it's the best solution and we have to pinch ourselves

    on the one hand I think that 49.3 can have an impact on our democracy because indeed it is used to force the passage of a law without having our representatives of the national assembly and the senate vote but on the other hand I think that it is important to trust the government if they think that postponing the retirement age is fundamental then it must be done

  5. I think 49.3 is an attack on democracy although it is enshrined in the constitution, because the voice of the people is not listened to. In my view, this is a right of veto which should be prohibited. However, I do not think that the incessant demonstrations since the approval of the pension reform is necessary, because in my opinion, this reform will not change. Indeed, I think that the Heads of State will see that as a defeat is a step back that they do not want to perform.
