The Assembly had already voted the reform

Before the Christmas holiday, Nicolas Sarkozy had reminded the UMP parliamentarians, received at the Elysee Palace, that they were "a family". How to play down their complaints and, in passing, to call them to order. But the family are often the most difficult to extinguish. Not sure, indeed, that the truce confectioners has been sufficient to put an end to the States of soul of a majority still seeking its place, concerned to weigh, but constantly shoved by the head of State. The latter must submit tomorrow wishes to MPs and senators, testifying according to the spokeswoman of the UMP Chantal Brunel from "consideration to the Parliament." But, even on the right, the formula is widely smile.

Jealous of their independence, senators UMP and new Centre do not appreciate that the first text is before today, for the opening of Parliament, is already... entered into force: the removal of advertising after 20 hours, in the heart of the reform of public broadcasting, is effective since yesterday evening. "Memory of Senator, I have never given it.". "But in a system like this one, in which Sarkozy sees all, knows everything and decides everything, you will have to make," resigned himself a long time elected. Some threaten even to not serve, making it a little more speculative the adoption of the reform. In "Le Figaro", Gérard Larcher, President of the high Assembly, trying to look good in welcoming that the text had not been adopted by Decree and emphasizing reflection "major" on the governance and public audiovisual funding.

The Assembly had already voted the reform. But climate is looks little more calmed. Not that members who fought against the extension of Sunday work before the holidays have the intention to continue the sling. "There is more subject." "In the State, the text is emptied of most of its substance," welcomes Marc Le Fur, Vice-President UMP du Palais-Bourbon. But the elected representatives of the majority party, for the most seasoned (many were renewed in 2007), and determined to take advantage of the last implementation of constitutional reform to be heard, are already too loaded agenda. Parliamentarians fear that the abundance of text blurs the message of the stimulus package, while they are under pressure in their constituencies. "More is made, more it takes the risk to be messy and loss of consistency," argued Michel rationale, Member of Haute-Saône.

The meaning of priorities

"There is an effort to make on the ranking of priorities," said Yves Censi, the Vice-Chairman of the Committee of finance. "It would be good that the meaning of priorities expressed in the wishes of the President of the Republic was translated in the parliamentary agenda," said villepiniste Hervé Mariton. For members, some texts could clearly have waited. This is of course the case of work on Sunday. It is also one of the reform of filiation, which must be ratified an old order of 2005. "This text, I do even not read it, says Arlette Grosskost, Member of the Haut-Rhin. Priority, slice, the stimulus plan. That it does not bothering with the rest.
