The globalist elite just showed their true colors again, folks. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu completely abandoned his government's central promise Monday evening by invoking Article 49.3 emergency powers to ram through a leftist-inspired budget without allowing the National Assembly to vote on it.
Sound familiar? This is the same playbook we've seen from authoritarian regimes across the globe – when you can't win democratically, just bypass democracy altogether. Lecornu's shameless flip-flop exposes exactly how these establishment politicians operate: make promises to get power, then break them the moment it's convenient.
Anti-Democratic Power Grab
Article 49.3 is France's constitutional loophole that allows the government to force legislation through without parliamentary approval – a relic that sounds more like something from a banana republic than a modern democracy. But that's exactly what globalist leaders resort to when their radical agenda faces legitimate opposition from elected representatives.
The French people elected representatives to the National Assembly for a reason – to have their voices heard on crucial matters like government spending. By invoking these emergency powers, Lecornu is essentially telling French citizens that their democratic choices don't matter when they conflict with the establishment's priorities.
This leftist budget that Lecornu is so desperate to pass undoubtedly contains the same woke spending priorities we've seen destroy economies across the Western world – climate change boondoggles, mass immigration support, and globalist initiatives that benefit everyone except hardworking taxpayers.
A Warning for America
Patriots should pay close attention to what's happening in France because it's a preview of what Democrats would do here if given the chance. Remember how they tried to eliminate the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and weaponize federal agencies against their political opponents?
Thank God we have President Trump back in the White House with a mandate to restore constitutional governance and drain the swamp. While French citizens watch their democracy get trampled by globalist bureaucrats, Americans can celebrate having leaders who actually respect the democratic process and the will of the people.
How long will Western democracies tolerate these constitutional loopholes that allow unelected bureaucrats to override the people's representatives?
