National Assembly: How the Constitutional Council Will Ultimately Be at the Center of the Game

The government has referred the Constitutional Council to challenge the inadmissibility of a bill amending the Petroleum Code, causing the postponement of the National Assembly's plenary session from September 29 to October 13. The bill aims to allow Parliament to hold a plenary debate, without voting, on oil contracts, which the government sees as an encroachment on executive authority. The Constitutional Council, responsible for ensuring laws comply with the Constitution, is now central to the political dispute between the executive and the parliamentary majority.
