will return this week to the place of the crime where its predecessor suffered the ambush of the strange alliance between the extreme right and the left. The Head of the Government will try to approve the budget by 2025 through article 49.3 of the Constitution that allows us to use a decree and skip the support of Parliament. The problem is that this mechanism, which already used last December, has the possibility of imposing a motion of censure that the left has already announced that it will use. The only unknown is to know if this time the Socialist Party (PS) will refrain and if Marine Le Pen’s ultra -right will participate in the movement.
Bayrou, actually, did not have too many more options. The Prime Minister, announced Saturday at the weekly La Tribune on Sunday Your decision, which will be executed on Monday afternoon when the deputies listen to the conclusions of the Joint Joint Commission on the State Budget, which will involve the first use of 49.3. Subsequently, they will go to the new reading of the Social Security budget, theoretically until Friday, occasion for a second use of this mechanism if the Executive is still standing after the foreseeable motion of censure on Wednesday. “Now we have to proceed without delay to adoption. A country like ours cannot run out of budget. The only way is to compromise the government’s responsibility. That will be done this Monday, ”said Bayrou, who expects” in 10 days “France to have” finally the indispensable budgets for the life of the nation. “
since the leftist La France Insumisa (LFI) has announced that it will present motions in this regard, which should receive the support of communists and environmentalists. However, national regrouping (RN), Le Pen’s party, and the PS has not yet released their intentions. All eyes are especially placed in the Socialists, with whom the government has been negotiating the budget for several weeks.
The things between the party led by Oliver Faure and the executive were relatively well until last week, during a televised interview, the expression, usually used by the outraged, greatly bothered the PS, which announced the freezing of negotiations. The Socialists asked for a Bayrou rectification, which never arrived, and increase budget concessions, something that has not yet materialized. The Executive, in this way, is again in the abyss only one month and a half after the fall of the Barnier government.
A large part of the PS is inclined to return to the block of the new popular front with the Ecologists and LFI and vote the motion. But some voices of the party, such as former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, no. “In the event that the motion prospens, what would happen is that the administration would be without direction and, given the dramatic financial situation in which we were, there would be neither budget nor Law on Social Security Financing,” he warned on Saturday in Saturday France 5.
Jospin raised the tone to refer to the situation in which the country could be found without a budget. “Who could face? Who would work for reconciliation in? Who would guarantee (…) security? Who (…) would finally launch this plan against drug trafficking? Voting censorship today, indeed, would not be responsible, ”he concluded.
Beyond the position that the Socialists adopt, it is also important to see what the position of the RN would be in case a motion was voted on Wednesday. Interviewed in the program Sunday in politics of France 3the influential deputy and spokesman in the RN Assembly, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, strongly criticized “a very bad budget for France.” “This budget is not viable for France; It is worse than not having a budget, ”he said, considering that it was necessary to” block it. ” “We must add to the motion of censure,” he said, although he said that it was his “personal opinion” and that he did not compromise his group, ensuring that he would abide by the decision of the president of the RN, Jordan Bardella, and the president of the group of extreme right in the National Assembly, Marine Le Pen. Tanguy focused his criticisms especially on the increase in the price of electricity, the migration crisis and government security policy. A way to leave the door open to a last negotiation.
