The deputies from the center and right “given” Monday, November 17 evening to not vote on the revenue side of the state budget, which is currently being examined in the hemicycle, if the latter will be put to a vote, we found out Tuesday, November 18 from the Prime Minister’s entourage. The “common base” group – from the Renaissance to the LR – “agree with the fact that right now, they can’t vote for it, because insincerity of certain actions taken“, did report this source, stating that this was indeed the case “consult” by Sébastien Lecornu about their intentions in the Assembly.
The Prime Minister’s entourage could not explain more precisely the direction of these groups’ votes, so they could either abstain or vote against this revenue share, which is currently being examined at the first reading in the National Assembly. However, these groups have “affirmed their desire to continue working on a compromise at the next stage of the parliamentary meeting”.
“The dangers weighing on the French economy, it’s because of lack of budget”warned Sébastien Lecornu on Monday in front of bosses, insisting that the govt “affirm (his) beliefs even more strongly”for example saying that he was a supporter of the Dutreil pact, which facilitated the transfer of the family business. He wants a compromise on the budget “Before” end of December, “Because if there is no budget, it will be a bad compromise in handling the crisis later”.
If the budget cannot be approved, the head of government can pass it through regulations, or he can pass a special law, allowing the 2025 allocation to be renewed but requiring Parliament to take up the budget again for the full year in 2026. However, he said he would not do so “no regrets” for having abandoned 49.3, which allowed it to return control to Parliament at the risk of debate stalling, and pointing the finger at the opposition in this regard. Sébastien Lecornu recalls leading a “last chance operation” because in his eyes, as in President Macron’s, censorship is tantamount to dissolving the National Assembly.
