Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
The Left	0	Yes	We support this constitutional reform
The Marianne Liberty Alliance Proposer	59	Yes	No reason given
The National Refoundation Front	135	No	We voted NO on this constitutional reform. Not out of opposition to the principles mentioned, but in rejection of a unilateral and undemocratic method. The NRF and the other parties were neither involved nor consulted in drafting these fundamental amendments. Reforming the Constitution requires a national consensus and thorough consultation among all political forces, not a diktat secretly drafted by a single group. A fundamental law cannot be built without respecting pluralism. Demanding co-creation is not a whim, it is an essential democratic guarantee!
