France at the crossroads: in the next few hours two no-confidence motions will try to send home not only the pension reform but Macron's majority with possible recourse to early elections - But the precedent of the boomerang of the anti-Gaullist no-confidence motion in the Fifth Republic holds France with bated breath

France, crucial hours for Macron: two motions of no confidence await him at the gate but in the past they were a boomerang

In a France in flames, two no-confidence motions await President Emmanuel in the next few hours Macron that everything is played on the reform of pensions, the symbolic reform that raises the retirement age from 62 to 64 and eliminates privileged regimes but which, according to the latest polls, is not liked by 68% of the French. atNational Assembly, where Macron in recent days imposed the approval of the reform without a vote using the controversial 49.3 procedure, two insidious motions - one by Le Pen and the other by Liot's centrists - which aim to distrust the current premier Elisabeth Borne and indirectly Macron himself who, in the event of failure, could change the leadership of the Government, considered to be ineffective, or dissolve Parliament and proclaim early elections.

FRANCE: TWO MOTIONS OF NO CONFIDENCE AGAINST MACRON

Until this morning the promoters of the two motions of no confidence they didn't have the votes to prevail but the games are on and uncertainty is at its maximum while the unions maintain the state of mobilization against the pension reform and against Macron. At stake is not only the pension reform but the very future of Macron and macronism, with not indifferent effects not only on France but on the whole of Europe.

MOTIONS OF NO CONFIDENCE: THE PRECEDER OF DE GAULLE THAT LEAD THE OPPOSITIONS TO THE DEFEAT

According to the latest polls, Macron's popularity is in free fall and does not go beyond 24% but the weekly Obs, the somewhat faded heir of the glorious Nouvel Observateur, yesterday published an article on its website from 1958 in which it recalls that during the Fifth Republic there was only one motion of no confidence against the Presidentissimo Charles De Gaulle who wanted the presidential elections to be adopted through a referendum: the oppositions rose up and passed the no-confidence in Parliament leading De Gaulle to dissolve the Chambers. But in the elections the political balance was turned upside down and De Gaulle won, much to the disappointment of the promoters of no-confidence who thought they had victory in hand. Will he be like this again this time? It is too early to tell but the precedent of the Fifth Republic also makes Macron's opponents anxious and keeps France in suspense.
