Macron wants to pass a series of laws by decree in order to speed through reforms and not everyone is happy about it. But can he actually do it?
Macron, Frances soon to be youngest ever president at 39, has major plans for France, including a simplification of Frances labor laws and cuts to the public sector and public spending.
But to bring these plans to action, the president-elect has said he will not wait for the backing of the French parliament which he he is unlikely to get a majority in anyway.
Instead Macron is planning to bypass Parliament and push through some new reforms by decree (par ordonnances in French). [
]
When facing criticism about ruling by the controversial move before, Macron has argued that its not undemocratic.
Im explaining beforehand, Im telling you, thats democratic, he said.
He also likes to point out that the technique helps speed up the debate.

"par ordonnances"?
Let's see if the French Parliament has more balls than our Congress!

This is exactly how progressives think they should rule. By fiat. Once the election is over, administration begins, and don’t let any little thing like a constitution or the rule of law stand in your way!
This, as has been seen in so many cases, leads to its logical conclusion - one person, one vote, one time.

Taking his cue from Pierre Laval.
Maybe he’ll suffer the same fate.

Maybe, but he’s shaping up to be the kind of guy who ends up being “checked” by his own bodyguards.
