49.3 has become one of the most visible symbols of the French democratic crisis. Originally designed as an exceptional tool intended to unblock rare parliamentary situations, it is today used repeatedly to pass major laws without a vote. With each appeal, the role of Parliament weakens, public debate is reduced and citizens' confidence in their institutions is further eroded. Many feel that the most important decisions are imposed rather than discussed, and that executive power takes a disproportionate role in the functioning of our democracy. We demand a reform of 49.3 in order to strictly limit its use, strengthen democratic control and guarantee that essential laws are truly debated and voted on by the representatives of the people. French democracy deserves institutions that promote transparency, deliberation and the balance of powers. Sign to support a reform of 49.3 and to restore Parliament to its rightful place.
