Paris is Burning: Macron Survives Vote of No-Confidence-Pension Reform Will Become Law Without a Parliament Vote-Massive Protests Throughout France
gateway pundit ^ | 3/20/2023 | PAUL SERRAN

The French National Assembly rejected a vote of no-confidence against the Government of Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, in the aftermath of the massive weekend protests over the French government pension plan.

This defeat of the motion means that the Prime Minister will not have to resign, and that Macron’s tyrannical pension overhaul will become law.

This is one of the biggest political crisis endured by the 45-year-old French President.

Macron invoked a controversial executive power to force through his deeply unpopular pension overhaul by decree, without a parliamentary vote. Among other rejected provisions, it raises the retirement age from 62 to 64.

Without majority in the parliament and without consensus, Macron elected to activate the ‘nuclear option’, Article 49.3.

The Local:

‘The government can only use Article 49.3 once per parliamentary sessions on non-financial bills. It can be used an unlimited number of times on financial bills such as the budget. The other condition is that the bill becomes law, unless a majority of MPs in parliament support a vote of no-confidence in the government (known in French as a motion de censure).’

Government pensions have always been a pyramid scheme.

Macron serves at its pleasure.

And let’s not forget, some of the Communists who protest against this tyranny and think it’s totally right for the French to take to their streets over a minor inconvenience, and who applied the same principles to Jan 6, looked at Yanukovych selling his entire country’s sovereignty over to Putin without any warning let alone a vote in their government...

And called the resulting protests - Euro Maidan - an insurrection.

Communists aren’t known for their consistency except in one respect - Russia’s never in the wrong.

LOL. Government-run pensions are a tyrannical con game. How is it “tyrannical” to change something that was designed to fail anyway?

Good thing the french citizens aren’t armed. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to rule that many unhappy people?!?

I have little sympathy for those who vote for socialism and then complain when reality bites them in the a**.

The French people should take a que from the muslims and form their own “No Go Zones” so they don’t have to live under a dictatorship.

Would it have been less tyrannical to arbitrarily jack up taxes on workers to pay to continue the age 62 retirement plan? Since France is part of the Euro they can’t just print money like we’re doing to try to maintain the Ponzi scheme.

The French have a problem with paying for their super-generous retirement benefits.
