National Rally President Jordan Bardella assured on Sunday that his party would vote against the State and Social Security budget projects, even if the budget delays pension reform. “Whatever happens, we will oppose the budget, we will oppose the Social Security finance bill.”he stated on France 3.
The text sent late Thursday from the Assembly to the Senate called for suspending pension reform, a measure supported by the RN and demanded by the Socialist Party. But Jordan Bardella does not see this as a reason to approve the final version. “I have nothing to do with Macronis. Those who are being criticized today for a repeal that is not a repeal are clearly socialists”he said.
To justify this refusal, the manager denounced “tax increases” and the absence of economics in the text under discussion. “We clearly cannot support a budget built by the Macronis and by the real Prime Minister, whose name is Olivier Faure”he quipped while targeting the PS boss.
Refusal to elect taxes on small plots
Meanwhile, RN vice president Sébastien Chenu accused the executive “play time” and from “sabotage” text, with numerous amendments “from the bloc that supports the government” because, according to him, “avoiding popular desires” at the end of the journey. The lawmaker also repeated his party’s refusal to vote for a tax on small parcels, in the belief that it would happen “avoidable” and it “In the end it is the consumer who pays”.
A position considered inconsistent by Public Accounts Minister Amélie de Montchalin. “RN all day long says they want to support small traders and craftsmen, but votes against taxing small plots while we are overwhelmed, businesses are closing and dumping from China is happening”his criticism on CNews/Europe 1.
