And here we go again... The reduction of VAT on train tickets (one of the Convention& #39;s measures) has been rejected by parliament. In June, when the Convention& #39;s Citizens voted, they had cold feet about putting their measures out for referendum. See: https://twitter.com/clmellier/status/1275053585030696960?s=19">https://twitter.com/clmellier... https://twitter.com/LambertAllaerd/status/1314096647572525056">https://twitter.com/LambertAl...
The citizens handed over the responsibility of translating the measures into legislations to the elected representatives. At the time, some said it was a shame and a missed opportunity to not have a referendum on key measures. Others saw it as a wise move from the citizens.
I wonder how the 150 citizens feel right now. We should find out soon as an 8th session of the Convention is planned. Its objective: A response from the citizens to the response from Macron on the measures. Still with me?
