How, over the years, the Constitutional Council has changed the game of political debate

Journalists en masse in front of the Constitutional Council? The founding fathers of the Fifth Republic would pinch themselves to believe it. However, this is the spectacle that is looming on Friday, when the supreme body will make its decisions on the pension reform and on the fate of the shared initiative referendum (RIP). What change ! When the body was created in 1958, only four personalities had the right to refer to the Elders: the Head of State, the Prime Minister, the President of the National Assembly and that of the Senate. In other words, not many people.
