Views on using article 49.3 for the pension reform in France 2022, by political party
In September 2022, shortly before the start of consultations on the future pension reform, three quarters of French people considered that the use of Article 49.3 of the Constitution to pass the text of the reform was unjustified. Even the sympathizers of the majority were only two thirds to find this recourse legitimate.
In France, article 49.3 of the Constitution allows the Prime Minister to impose the adoption of a text of law, immediately and without a vote. The National Assembly can only oppose it by overthrowing the government by a motion of censure.
