A day of high tension. The National Assembly decides, Monday, December 2, on the very sensitive Social Security financing bill (PLFSS). The text, resulting from a compromise between a committee of senators and deputies, will be examined in session from 3 p.m. As it stands, it should not be voted on by either the left or the far right, in a deeply divided chamber. The government could use 49.3 of the Constitution to adopt it, which would expose it to a motion of censure from the left and the National Rally. Follow our live stream.
Marine Le Pen accuses Matignon of having “ended the discussion”. “The government has expressed its wish not to modify the PLFSS, this is extremely clear and we have taken note of this”, assured Marine Le Pen on Sunday, after a meeting with the president of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella.
