This is the last chance solution for Emmanuel Macron who tried to set the rules during a dinner at the Élysée with ministers and majority leaders. One participant described the president as “ offensive and demanding in the short term “. First requirement from the Head of State: move quickly, not let the crisis persist and become a drag beyond the end of the year. The president ruled out this option. He wants to put pressure on the oppositions and especially on the Republicans (LR) who will have influence in the joint committee (CMP) because of their number.

No 49.3 according to a Renaissance MP

After the snub of motion to dismiss, Emmanuel Macron is trying to create the conditions for an express compromise, but not at any price. He knows that his majority could collapse if the text resulting from the CMP made too many concessions to the right. A Renaissance MP explains that if we remove the measures on work, it would “ tense ” in the group. “ The president ruled out the forceful passage by 49.3 which would be badly received by his troops “, she testifies.

And if the CMP is not conclusive, this text will be completely abandoned. The objective is to place the responsibility for the failure of a law supported by the French on the Republicans.
