EXPOSED: French Government Bypasses Democracy, Forces Through Leftist Budget Without Vote

In a stunning display of anti-democratic authoritarianism that would make Biden proud, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu completely flip-flopped on his central campaign promise Monday night by invoking Article 49.3 emergency powers to force through a leftist budget without allowing the National Assembly to vote.

Sound familiar, Patriots? This is the same playbook we've seen from the radical left across the globe – when they can't win through legitimate democratic processes, they simply bypass democracy altogether.

Lecornu's government promised transparency and democratic governance when they took power. But faced with potential defeat on their bloated, left-wing spending package, they chose to invoke what amounts to a constitutional loophole that allows the executive branch to ram through legislation without legislative approval.

The Globalist Playbook in Action

This is exactly the kind of establishment swamp behavior that President Trump has been fighting against for years. When the people's representatives might actually represent the people instead of the globalist agenda, the elites simply cut them out of the process entirely.

The French budget being forced through reportedly includes massive government spending increases and policies that align perfectly with the World Economic Forum's radical agenda – the same agenda that Trump decisively rejected when American voters gave him a mandate for change in 2024.

"This is what happens when establishment politicians prioritize their globalist masters over the will of the people," one conservative analyst noted. "It's the same anti-democratic impulse we fought against here in America."

While France descends further into authoritarian governance, Americans can be grateful that we have President Trump back in the White House, dismantling the administrative state and restoring power to We the People through proper democratic processes.

This French power grab serves as a stark reminder of why the America First movement is so crucial – and why the global establishment will stop at nothing to maintain their stranglehold on power, even if it means destroying democracy in the process.

This reminds me of when Obama rammed through Obamacare against the will of the people. Leftists worldwide use the same authoritarian tactics when democracy doesn't give them what they want.

Can someone explain what constitutional mechanism they used to bypass the vote? Is this even legal under French law?

This is exactly what happens when leftists can't win through legitimate democratic processes - they just bypass the voters entirely!

Same playbook every time. When they can't convince the people, they force it through anyway.

This is a dangerous precedent that threatens democratic institutions across the West. When governments can simply ignore legislative bodies, we're no longer living in a democracy.

Exactly right. This is how republics fall - death by a thousand cuts to democratic norms.

I've been watching French politics closely since I lived in Paris for work in the 90s. The French people deserve better than having massive spending forced on them without representation. This budget will bankrupt the next generation.

Same thing is happening across Europe. The globalist agenda doesn't care about what actual citizens want.

Macron's true colors are finally showing. How is this any different from authoritarianism?

The French taxpayers are going to be crushed by this bloated leftist spending spree. Meanwhile, Macron and his cronies will be insulated from the economic consequences.

Absolutely disgraceful!
