The president of the National Rally Jordan Bardella assured that his parliamentary group will vote for censure against the government if it uses 49.3 on the Social Security budget this Monday.
End of suspense. The National Rally will vote this week to censure the government, in the event of recourse this Monday to 49.3 on the Social Security budget, barring a “last minute miracle”, party president Jordan Bardella announced on RTL.
“Yes, it’s over (…) I am forced today to announce the censorship of the government,” declared the MEP. The National Rally will vote on a motion of censure with the left to bring down the government, “except obviously, a last minute miracle, if Michel Barnier were to review his copy by 3 p.m. But I have little hope that he will be touched by grace,” said Jordan Bardella.
The National Assembly decides from 3 p.m. on the final reading on the Social Security budget, resulting from a compromise between a committee of senators and deputies. In the absence of a majority, the government should announce its use of 49.3 to try to have its text adopted without a vote.
This would pave the way for the tabling of a motion of censure, which could be voted on Wednesday or Thursday.
After having obtained that the government abandons the increase in taxes on electricity and reduces state medical aid (AME) for undocumented immigrants, the RN demanded new concessions, in particular on the revaluation of retirement pensions or a a look back at the reduction in reimbursement for certain medications.
But “the Minister of the Budget, Laurent Saint-Martin spoke yesterday indicating that the government no longer intended to move,” noted Jordan Bardella.
