The appointment of the former Foreign Minister, proposed by François Hollande to succeed Jean-Louis Debré, was approved by an overwhelming majority of deputies and senators of the laws of both commissions assemblies.
Review successful passage to Laurent Fabius. Commissions Acts of the National Assembly and the Senate have given Thursday morning agreed to the appointment of former Foreign Minister in the Presidency of the Constitutional Council, by 38 votes against one, three blank or spoiled votes, to outcome of his hearing in each of the meetings. “This is the end of my public expression on many subjects,” said the former prime minister after his Senate hearing, adding, “Politics is not a civil war.”
For an hour face to MPs, then half past one before the senators, Laurent Fabius said in a climate of great courtesy to pointed questions of law, but does nothing embarrassing was asked including the fact that his current companion, Marie-France Marchand-Baylet, becomes the owner of the media group ( La Dépêche du Midi , Midi Libre …. ) that led her ex-husband, Jean-Michel Baylet before entering government. Faced with the controversy over its willingness to continue to chair the COP21, Laurent Fabius had thrown in the towel on Monday evening, a decision “approved” by the rapporteur for this appointment to the Assembly, Georges Fenech (LR, Rhône).
In an opening statement, Fabius recalled that he began his career at the State Council. “I learned my craft judge for four years. This training will be extremely helpful to me, “he insisted before both commissions laws. He told senators that he “wanted” to go to the Constitutional Council and that Hollande had made him “great honor” to offer him the presidency. “I have plenty of good will to learn,” said the former chairman of the Assembly who acknowledged that he did not “know the institution from within.” But, he added, “I do not have the reputation of not performing the duties that are entrusted to me.”
“I do not have the reputation of not performing the duties that are entrusted to me”
Already Laurent Fabius seems to have closed the door to possible developments discussed January 5, 2016 by the outgoing President of the constitutional Council, Jean-Louis Debre. Establish control of the respect of international conventions by the nine Sages? Expressing “pretty standard”, he was evasive. Fabius does not “spontaneously favorable” that independent administrative authorities can seize the Sages, as Debré suggested, to “not to rock the boat.” It is not more favorable to the secrecy of the deliberations of the Council. “My fear is that it is politicizing things and that this practice encourages differences of opinion. Council decisions are collegial, they form a whole, “he pleaded before MPs.
Extensive discussions were held on priority issues of constitutionality (QPC), established in 2008, application entries in 2010, that changed the role of the Council. For Fabius, these QPC (about 75 per year declared admissible) are “indisputable progress but do not think there’s a fad.” He hoped to make a balance sheet in ten years in 2018. What awaits the nine Sages? “The independence, experience, competence and common sense.” And of course, a strong ability to work.
The other two candidates for the Constitutional Council, Corinne Luquiens, Secretary General of the Assembly, proposed by Claude Bartolone, and State Councilor Michel Pinault, proposed by Gérard Larcher, have also been validated.
