French prime minister, centrist François Bayrou, does not have time to lose and The budget of 2025 will impose on Monday prepared by his related parliamentarians, which places him under the threat of.
“A country like ours cannot be without a budget,” said the chief executive in an interview published this Sunday by The Sunday Tribune to justify the appeal to article 49.3 to adopt the accounts of the country even though it does not have a majority in the lower house.
In return, the opposition can present a motion of censure, that the leftist La France Insumisa (LFI) has already announced that it will do. Two months after your appointment, Executive’s survival is in the hands of the 66 socialist deputieswith whom he has negotiated a series of concessions, and of the 170 of the extreme right months after his appointment, the executive’s survival is in the hands of the 66 socialist deputies, with whom he has negotiated a series of concessions, and of the 170 of the extreme right, which have not revealed their intentions either.
Although in essential Bayrou Bayrou is very similar to that of Barnier, which became the shortest prime minister in the recent history of France, The centrist has given some concessions to the socialiststhat do not rule out breaking the vote discipline of the left block with which they presented themselves to the legislative last July.
Among them is a greater health expense, the suppression of the measure that cut 4,000 positions in education or certain environmental measures. In addition, the prime minister admitted to reopening the debate on pension reform, which is now being discussed by unions and employer, which allows him to claim progress, in the face of the criticisms they are receiving from LFI.
All this could lead them not to vote for the motion of censure, as asked by former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin in favor of stability that the country needs. The party is in full internal debate without officially communicating what its position will be. The budget will be presented on Monday, but the motion of censure will not be debated until Wednesday.
The other life jacket to which the prime minister can grab so as not to follow the same fate that Barnier is the extreme right, which also points out that he has achieved concessions, although without reaching all those he had raised.
The deputies of Marine Le Pen asked for a greater cut of medical aid to foreigners without papers and measures that avoid the increase in electricity. The decision on whether they will support the motion of censure, they say in the party, will be taken by the leader, next to his right hand, Jordan Bardella, on Monday, when they plan to gather their parliamentary group.
Meanwhile, LFI’s criticisms, both the government and the Socialists, who accuse of giving in conservative pressures. The budget project was approved by a mixed commission of senators and deputies, where the central block, allied with the moderate right, has an absolute majority. According to their forecasts, it would allow to reduce the public deficit to 5.4%, compared to 6% of 2024, which would place them within the trajectory committed to Brussels.
