Le Monde: French Constitution: How does Article 49.3 allow a bill to be passed without a vote?
The French government can bypass a vote on controversial pension reform by invoking Article 49.3 of the Constitution, allowing a bill to pass the Assemblée Nationale. Opposition MPs can respond with a motion of no confidence, risking government collapse if they secure a majority.
Since the 2008 reform, Article 49.3 can be used only once per session, excluding state and social security budgets. If the no-confidence motion fails, the government successfully enacts the law.
Le Monde: French government risks being toppled this week
French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a significant challenge as his government presents a social security financing bill that has drawn strong opposition, particularly from Marine Le Pen's far-right Rassemblement National. Without a parliamentary majority, Barnier risks a no-confidence vote that could force his resignation.
If he cannot secure support, Barnier may resort to Article 49.3 of the French Constitution to push the bill through, which would likely provoke a no-confidence vote. The political landscape remains tense, with potential repercussions for France's financial stability if the government collapses.

Conversely, some Latin American leaders view Trump's victory positively, anticipating stronger ties with the U.S. and support against leftist regimes. The appointment of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State suggests a hardline approach toward countries like Cuba and Venezuela, potentially reshaping regional dynamics.
