Although the plan to raise the pension age from 62 to 64 passed the upper house on Thursday, ministers realised they might not have the numbers in the lower house.
Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne will now rely on a constitutional procedure.
Article 49:3 enables the government to pass legislation without a vote.

“Article 49:3 enables the government to pass legislation without a vote.”
‘That’s some catch, article 49:3’
‘It’s the best there is’
Actually, it’s exactly what Biden is doing with his Executive Orders.
It’s extra handy when you have the tyranny written right in the constitution.
Apres Macron, le Deluge!
France has the same kind of “democrazy” that the RATS are installing here. Pay a bunch of corrupt politicians to sit on their asses in their governmental chambers and do nothing, while a demented, fascist turd roller makes up all new “laws” and steals away the freedoms of the people.
yeah, i thought we were told that america and the western nations were fighting for “democracy” in ukraine ?
Well, if the majority of French want to lower retirement age to 30 and legalize a 2-day work week…that’s democracy eh?
Let them eat cake!
While it is probably a needed reform, its NOT going to go over well in France where the Unions are so powerful they make our unions look like ineffective little kittens. I expect France to be burning (figurately and literally) for the next couple weeks.
America : lives to work.
They act like Bastille Day can never happen again. I hope they throw that arrogant WEF runt out the window.
The Unions there are literally run by the Commies.
The difference is, in the US, the US Government made a deal with the Mob to run the Unions, to keep the Commies out.
Well, actually yes, it is. Not bright but yes.
On the other hand, when you endure French tax rates over your whole working life, it is not unreasonable to expect a pension at the age they have.
As is also true here in America. If you take away roughly 15% of someone’s income for 45 years, it is not unreasonable for them to expect their paltry SS payment to start on time. Especially since the government keeps the change of you die.
If a private company took the SS slice of income, and invested it in the safest things known to man, and at the end of 45 years said they would pay out a 1200-1500 stipend, and if you die they keep the whole thing..... they would be indicted.
Exactly!
But at least with an assembly they can hold a no confidence vote and force a new election.
One Word: JUPITER
I don’t know what that means, but I am glad that it isn’t ‘Uranus’.
France doesn’t work.
Hence the problem.
Its government’s mouth is writing checks its derriere can’t cash.
