On October 6, Gabriel Attal exceptionally invited his troops for a Sunday group meeting by videoconference. The challenge, for the Ensemble pour la République (EPR) deputies, is to focus on the measures announced by Michel Barnier to rectify the budgetary trajectory. Despite a certain relaxation initiated that morning by the Prime Minister towards the Macronists, in an interview given to the Tribune on Sunday, the exchanges between the EPR elected officials suggest a certain bitterness. For many executives, the violence of the predicted economic shock could have been lessened if the government had put the package into savings at the end of the year.
The distrust even pushes the deputies to wonder if Michel Barnier would not have knowingly blackened their record to legitimize the harshness of his plan. “I am extremely disappointed by the fact that we have completely integrated the fact that we would have a 6.1 or 6.2% deficit in 2024, that is to say that we have given up on making other savings in 2024, deplored that day the former Minister of the Budget Thomas Cazenave (…) I find that they have completely abandoned 2024 by making the march to 2025 even more difficult.”
