Therefore the head of government proposed this budget increase (for defense) to a vote, “precisely to integrate the results of this next vote”government spokesperson Maud Bregeon explained Monday on BFMTV. “He must guide the debate, and find leverage to move things in the direction he wants”further explained a close friend of the Prime Minister.
