‘Strolling centrist line: Far proper says price range too socialist, far left says price range as too right-wing’

Catherine Viette is happy to welcome Dr. Andrew Smith, Historian of Fashionable France at Queen Mary College of London. In a time of political gridlock and financial uncertainty, the French PM has invoked Article 49.3 to power via its price range. Dr. Smith described this as extra of a “negotiated 49.3”, a tactical manoeuvre involving each compromise and constraint. His insights spotlight the structural paralysis of a fractured parliament, the symbolic energy of budgetary management, and the broader implications for France’s fiscal credibility on the European stage.
