France's Public Accounts Minister Amelie De Montchalin attends a session of questions to the government just before the use of Article 49.3 of the Constitution at the National Assembly, France's lower house of parliament, in Paris, France, on January 20, 2026. Article 49.3 of the Constitution allows the government to push through legislation without a vote in the National Assembly. However, the use of 49.3 allows opposition parties to put forward no-confidence motions (Photo by Adnan Farzat/NurPhoto).
