The law Macron has completed his marathon in the Assembly – BBC

The text will be submitted to the formal vote of Deputies on Tuesday. The opportunity for the majority of its votes to count.

Phew! The marathon of the review by members of the “Macron law” – actually the “Law for the growth, activity and equal economic opportunities” – ended Sunday in the early hours of dawn . The text in the annals of the Chamber with 111 hours of debate – 18 hours of talk time for one minister! -. 559 and its amendments adopted in session

After the regulated professions, the opening to competition of bus transportation, strengthening the supervision of the retail or the reform of the passage of the permit driving, the last two days of discussion has been devoted to crucial chapters of the text: Sunday work, labor court and collective redundancy procedures. Suffice to say the sensitive subjects … left.

Hémicycle sparse

The majority has been put to the test during the final hours of debate in a sparse Hémicycle, had the still left the UMP, whose speaking time had run out. And that’s with the “rebellious” the minister had his final passes of weapons. As with Laurent Baumel, who urged Emmanuel Macron to “think carefully” and to “make a political gesture” before the formal vote of the text on Tuesday. Or out of the Assembly, with Anne Hidalgo, who denounced a “democratic backsliding” on Sunday work. After the debate, the mayor of Paris has indeed lost his fight since MEPs agreed to the creation of tourist areas, particularly in Paris, by order and without the intervention of the Town Hall.

The Minister however given some pledges to the left during the debate, accepting the amendments to the original text on Sunday work to predict supported by the employer to transport costs or child care. He had already fallen on other key points of the text, including the creation of a “tariff corridor” for notarial acts.

“The test of Parliament”

The majority will now count its votes, by the solemn vote on Tuesday. In all likelihood, “this should happen,” refers to the Assembly, despite the defection of slingers – which we will see how take the plunge of a vote against a text from the government rather than mere abstention – and MPs Greens. Bercy but does not declare victory.

The Minister, however, knows that he has already won this battle political stripes. “It was my first text”, he recalled hearing closed, grateful, he who was never elected, having the feeling to pass “the test of Parliament.”

A law to amazing journey

He was not alone to play big. Manuel Valls, Hollande also relied heavily on this law. A text whose course is surprising, since its drafting had been launched from the pen of Arnaud Montebourg to resume under the direction of Emmanuel Macron as to become a symbol of the social democratic turn, if not socially liberal, the executive. The Macron law is also a guarantee of reformism of France, put forward by the government from its European partners and the Commission. It also returns on provisions – some say mistakes – decided during the first part of the mandate of Francois Hollande. So in terms of employee savings, to which the law wants to give a boost from the revival of the intermediate housing undermined by Duflot law or rehabilitation – tax – free shares, defended as a means stimulate business creation.
