Labour Law: Government pulls the 49-3 – Le Figaro

SCAN THE POLICY / VIDEOS – Having failed to achieve a consensus within the Socialist Group, Manuel Valls opts for forced passage

As a deja vu. Just over a year after he assumed responsibility on Macron law, the government has decided to activate the procedure again from 49-3 on the controversial law work. It allows the government to pass the bill without a vote, unless a motion of censure is approved within 48 hours. As the Constitution imposes an extraordinary cabinet meeting was convened at 14:30 to validate the procedure

This was followed by a session of questions to choppy government, in which Manuel Valls explained his choice . “We have a coherent and balanced text, the fruit of a compromise. (…) (But) some in the majority group, refused to join the dynamics of compromise. The conjunction of oppositions can block text. (…) Because the country needs to move forward, the Council of Ministers has authorized me to engage the responsibility of the government, “said Premier booed opposition and the radical left.

Until the last moment, the government has sought to muster a majority. Tuesday morning at Matignon, the Prime Minister met fifteen Socialist deputies to attempt conciliation. In vain. Slingers members but several Socialist deputies who usually vote the texts of the government, demanded the withdrawal or rewriting of Article 2 of the Bill El Khomri, which insists the agreements negotiated at company level compared to those concluded at the branch. But Manuel Valls their opposite end of inadmissibility. “He did not visibly the urge to go to a compromise,” said the leader of the rebellious, Christian Paul at the exit of the meeting.

“There are colleagues who do not want to move, which does not make proposals, refusing any I’ve made, “replied the rapporteur of the text, the Socialist Christophe Sirugue. “I make the observation that a minority of members of the Socialist Group are positioned as if they were the majority, but in fact they are in alliance with the right,” he said.

slingers are now threatening to vote the censure motion which was filed by the right after the coup government. “It is a constitutional tool,” says mischievously Christian Paul, taking the term of Manuel Valls about 49-3. For adoption and bring down the government, the motion must be passed by an absolute majority or by 289 deputies. The UMP and the UDI hold 227 votes. Remain sixty voices to find in the ranks of the left, which is far from negligible: if the GDR group members should support it, socialists should be more careful
