Threat of a motion of censure: would France be blocked in the event of the overthrow of the Barnier government?
(France 2)
The threat of a motion of censure in the government, voted for by the left and the National Rally, plunges the political class into the unknown. What to do without a budget? The Constitution provides for this scenario.
Is Michel Barnier living his last weeks as head of government? The Prime Minister risks being overthrown by a motion of censure. The result is that France could find itself without a budget in 2025. A certain blockage, the stakes of which are dramatized by the central bloc: “Those who overthrow the government to oppose the budget will bear the responsibility for the doglit”for example declared Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
Will the State continue to operate and will civil servants be paid in the event of a non-budget? The New Popular Front wants to be reassuring: “Those who want to scare people by saying that France is being brought to disaster are telling lies”estimated André Chassaigne, president of the Left Democratic and Republican group in the National Assembly. Same speech from Marine Le Pen, who also does not believe in blocking. Yaël Braun-Pivet, the president of the National Assembly, confirms this, because the Constitution provides for this option.
