The oppositions in fact collected 278 votes in favor, against the 287 that were needed for the approval that would have led to the fall of the executive and the invalidity of the pension reform. However, this is a negative result for the executive and the president Emmanuel Macron. A large part of the Gaullist deputies, the Republicains, voted in favor going against the indications of the president of the party, Eric Ciotti.

But Caligula too was defeated”. And addressing premier Elisabeth Borne, he added: “Two French out of three want the fall of his government and the rejection of the reform. If his government fell tonight, the French would be relieved. So you have already lost, his government is already dead “. Prime Minister Bourne replied: “Macron was transparent on pensions”.
