Unfortunately no. The government used an undemocratic instrument called article 49-3. If the government does not have the sufficient number of deputies to pass a law, it has the possibility of using it and overriding the opinion of the representatives of the people. Under the government of Emmanuel Macron, article 49-3 was used 89 times. I see that you have informed yourself about France and its history. Well done and thank you for your message.
I'm sorry to hear this. There's another Hiver, @samstonehill, also from France, who posts about the current French government and their abuse of power on occasion.
Somewhat! There's plenty more I do not know. It's kind of you to say so though, thank you.
In truth i don't follow the news so i had no idea that "article 49-3 was used 89 times" by Macron but frankly this doesn't surprise me at all. He seems very good at jumping in line with the wishes of the WEF which aims to centralise our food systems. What i sometimes report on are the changes directly affecting those like myself who are trying to produce our own food. Most people in this region (Pyrénées-Orientales) seem to have all but given up on such ideas due to the lack of rain and tight water restrictions which have been going for a year now. Though it isn't the government enforcing these rules. It is the people! Those who are not gardening appear to be busy finding and calling out those who are. We've been lucky so far with this but there are rumours that one such person lives in the next village and has reported numerous people there over the last year.
Lovely cobblestones @cyboule.
Citizens against citizens... not good
