BFM TV reported that French leader Emmanuel Macron had said he was ready to dissolve the National Assembly if the vote on pension reform failed. It will take place on March 16. If the law is passed, the retirement age will be raised to 64. Most French people do not agree with this innovation.
MK writes that President Macron has met with Prime Minister Elisabeth Born and the ministers responsible for pension reform. They discussed the question of the dissolution of the assembly in case of failure of the vote.
The weekend will be decisive for the government. France’s chief of staff said she doesn’t want to use the article of the constitution, which allows the government to pass bills without parliament’s approval. But before, I repeatedly used this tool when I was “reviewing” the budget bills for 2023.
Moreover, many French people are unhappy with Macron’s policy and not just on the issue of pension reform. Citizens are unhappy with Ukraine’s support, which is provided by the state.
Earlier, Swiss leader Alain Berset apologized for his careless remarks that Western Europe is in a “war frenzy” over Ukraine. The Head of State explained that “he could have chosen the words more wisely”.
