00:00 The Senate is announcing Wednesday afternoon the signing of the IVG in the Constitution,
00:04 a vote made very uncertain by the right-wing reluctance and which could shake the parliamentary calendar of the reform.
00:11 This is the most delicate stage of the constitutional revision promised by the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron,
00:17 the executive will not be able to do it well without obtaining a majority vote of the 348 parliamentarians of the Luxembourg Palace.
00:24 Suspense at the Chamber of Auditors, the signing of the voluntary suspension of IVG in the Constitution is heard,
00:31 Wednesday, February 28, by the right-wing reluctance during an undecided vote in the Senate,
00:35 where some might try to slow down the reform if there are not enough to reject it.
00:40 Debates are expected to be held from 4.30 pm at the Luxembourg Palace.
00:45 On the one hand, the government supported by the left in favor of this revision promised by Emmanuel Macron,
00:50 on the other, a part of the right and centrists still skeptical of the formulation held by the executive.
00:56 The law determines the conditions under which the freedom guaranteed to the woman to have recourse to a voluntary suspension of pregnancy is exercised.
01:04 The text submitted to the vote of the 348 senators struggles to convince the ranks of the senatorial majority,
01:09 an alliance between the Republicans, LR and the centrist group.
01:13 However, a favorable vote and without modification of the Chamber of Auditors is unprecedented for this constitutional revision supported by 86% of the French,
01:21 according to a IFOB poll in November 2022.
01:24 Modifying the supreme text is not easy, the National Assembly and the Senate must validate the reform in the identical way,
01:30 before the meeting of a Parliamentary Congress in Versailles where a majority of the 3/5 will be required.
01:35 Contested agenda
01:37 After the Assembly, almost unanimously at the end of January, the Senate vote is the most dangerous stage of the process,
01:43 the three heads of the senatorial majority, the president of the Senate Gérard Larcher,
01:47 the boss of the LR group Bruno Retaillot and that of the centrist group Hervé Marseille, are in fact opposed to the reform.
01:54 "There is no threat that weighs on abortion in France", insists Bruno Retaillot.
01:59 "The government cannot impose a calendar on us in contempt of the parliamentary debate",
02:03 he adds to the AFP, again heated by the agenda advanced at the end of 2023 by Emmanuel Macron.
02:09 The president had envisaged meeting the Congress on March 4,
02:12 which involved a Senate vote without editorial modification.
02:16 Nothing worse to freeze the senatorial right.
02:20 Since then, the executive has remained silent on the agenda,
02:23 even if a government source confirms that March 4 is still a privileged scenario.
02:28 "We will take the time we need", says the Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti,
02:33 assuring that France would become the first country in the world to constitutionally protect women's freedom to dispose of their bodies,
02:40 while it is being challenged in the United States or in certain European countries.
02:44 Women's rights defense associations such as the opposition groups at the IWG have multiplied the initiatives in recent days to convince senators.
02:52 Several pro- and anti-constitutional associations were announced on the Senate floor in the afternoon.
02:58 Do not get the wrong idea.
03:01 In the ranks of the right, social or family pressure has shaken some votes,
03:05 in private, several senators recognize that they have changed their mind and will not oppose the reform,
03:10 leaving a clear majority in favor of the registration of the IWG in the Constitution.
