An opinion shared by 63% of French people
According to an Elabe poll for BFMTV, a large majority of French people (63%) believe that the President of the Republic should resign if the government was censored, with a little more than half of them (53%) considering him responsible for the current political situation.
The government could activate article 49.3 of the Constitution on Monday, to have the Social Security financing bill for 2025 adopted without a vote in the Assembly, exposing itself to censorship by deputies, which worries the markets and makes to fear from Prime Minister Michel Barnier a “storm”.
The decision of the President of the Republic to dissolve the Assembly led in July to the creation of a hemicycle divided into three blocks, from which no solid majority seems to be able to emerge.
