In fact, the current extraordinary session is scheduled to end on Sunday, August 7. In the coming days, the emergency texts for the French will be examined, including the purchasing power bill, the amended finance bill and the health bill.

Facilitate consultation

According to Franck Riester, this extraordinary vacancy is part of the new method of compromise and dialogue desired by the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister with Parliament.
