A morning demonstration, rare, just outside the entrance of the National Assembly University Street; firecrackers exploding, CRS cords deployed throughout the neighborhood. It is in a camp atmosphere entrenched that MEPs Tuesday opened the discussion on the Labour Law in the Palais Bourbon.
Once inside the building, the voltage does not drop. By late morning, the various political groups adopt an offensive strategy filibuster background. No fewer than 5000 amendments have been tabled. Almost as much as the battle for marriage for all.
André Chassaigne, who chairs the group GDR (communist) and demand the withdrawal of the bill, said from the outset that its members will vote all procedural motions brought by the right. Republicans are preparing indeed counter the Labour Law by prior rejection motion brought by Jean-Francois Cope and a motion for referral to committee, filed by MP Isabelle Le Callenec, Vice President of Republicans.
In case of 49-3 – and therefore the adoption of the law without consultation, André Chassaigne says will “immediately implement the joint construction of a censorship left.” A scenario that the government does not favor for the moment but it can not rule while still miss some forty votes to pass the law.

Article 2, the sinews of war
Christian Jacob, leader of deputies Republicans (LR), it is simply impossible to “work on the 5000 amendments in five days” of parliamentary work, while the solemn vote of the text is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17 Said El Khomri law is nothing less than a “primer of what to do to fail,” he chuckles. “A text that goes contrary campaign promises [of Holland], a minister announces 49-3 then said the opposite …”
He also, in case of forced passage the government will propose a motion of censure “on the whole of government action.” Even centrist Philippe Vigier, President of IDU group is in favor of censorship in case of 49-3. “I will not miss them”, warns that member of liberal sensibility.
STORIES & gt; & gt; Labour law: five points that will jam
In the late morning, no socialist reveals itself in hall four columns. Except slingers eternal as Christian Paul. For the member of the Nièvre, the sinews of war is Article 2, which provides that in matters of working time, a company agreement overrides a branch agreement. “If it passes, we will vote against the entire text.”
For the owner of Socialist deputies Bruno Le Roux, who eventually show journalists just before the questions to the government, it “there will be no discussion” about this article. “Obviously, we can discuss the perimeter [European or French] on layoffs, we can discuss the referendum in business. But there will be no discussion on negotiation in business. It is not about to a reversal of the hierarchy of standards. We, we trust the union negotiations. ” The red lines are planted on each side.

And the boss of the PS deputies regret “obstruction” of opponents, “technical as well known to the Assembly national “.” I guaranteed the opportunity to speak, retorts the rebellious MP Laurent Baumel. There is nothing false in there as soon as the word of diversity within the SP group is not the rule in the house. “
Among the few faithful wandering among government journalists, MP (PS) of the Hérault Sébastien Denaja recognizes that “not know how it will all end.” “But if there is a 49-3, he cleared, it would the second time under this government. Michel Rocard, he used it 28 times and yet it remains one of the great references of the left … “
” In the face of the employers ‘wolf’
in this electric atmosphere that opens the session of questions to the government. the member Isabelle Attard (ex-EELV) denounced a “law dictated by the Medef.” “We do not send employees in the face of the employers ‘wolf’, replied, with a vehemence we did not know him, Myriam El-Khomri. “Your only voice is the voice of the status quo ” , she sinks.
and to chain at 16.15 with a speech of half an hour. the “woman left” says he wants to approach the debate “with seriousness and hope.” an ” we! “fuse immediately in the communist ranks. for the Minister of Labour, the” debate has been weighted to misunderstandings, even mistakes. “” I am taking my hand, “she acknowledges, while ensuring that “as imprecise or inaccurate things have been said.” A “game of roles agreed,” she said. “Who can believe that unions will sign tomorrow harmful agreements for the employee?” She asks a sparse chamber.
motions of the right rejected Des
“We could have chosen the comfort of inertia, the comfort of silence. Better to be judged on a daring a posture, “she concludes. A “stratospheric peroration,” laughs André Chassaigne immediately takes three minutes of session interruption to “distinguish between the political and pathos.” Boos on the benches of the right of deputies. “The Conservatives, it is you!”, Yells at them address the communist boss.
At 17:45 Jean-Francois Cope mounted the rostrum to defend its preliminary rejection motion. “The draft law was going in the right direction,” he says, but a “succession of setbacks” turned the law “El Khomri” in “CGT law, UNEF, Night Stand”. “I fear the worst for our economic environment” if amendments “to the left, to the left of the left and even the left of the left of the left” were adopted, adds the MP for Seine-et-Marne. Despite the backing of communist votes, the motion was rejected by 200 votes against 105. The motion for referral back to committee is rejected later by 177 votes against 99. A battle is lost, the war begins.
