Parliament to play politics more than to vote on laws

The real false reform of state medical aid (AME) is emblematic of the Attal sequence which is beginning. The previous government, to coax LR, was committed to leading it, while remaining ambiguous on the path to take, legislative or regulatory. And while knowing that an evolution of the AME which would go as far as a modification of the conditions for obtaining it – recommended in the report by Claude Evin and Patrick Stefanini – necessarily requires the law. The Prime Minister will not do this and will be content with regulatory measures, which will therefore not pass before Parliament. Choice of conviction or political calculation, the AME will be reformed at a minimum.

We understood this by hearing his general policy declaration, Gabriel Attal will use Parliament more to lead political games than to vote on laws (even if there will be emblematic ones, such as that on the end of life). This pesky relative majority, the burden of the five-year term, and sulking allies don’t explain everything.

It is at the moment when the executive borrows the most measures or intonations from the LR right that it also succeeds in robbing it the most: the poaching of Rachida Dati and the sleight of hand on the “immigration” law “, at the risk of turning the rule of law upside down are all provocations for a party on which power sometimes counted to find a way through for the rest of the mandate – instead of an outstretched hand, arms of honor.
