This Monday, December 2, 2024, following the use ofarticle 49.3 of the Constitution by the Prime Minister Michel Barnieras part of the vote on the draft budget for Social Security, the New Popular Front and the National Rally each submitted a motion of censure against the Barnier government. They will be debated in the National Assembly this Wednesday, December 4 from 4 p.m.

On the eve of this election which risks leading to the fall of the government, the Macronist deputy for the 5th constituency of Côtes-d'Armor, Eric Bothorelannounces in a press release that he will not vote for censure.

At the PS, LFI, RN and others, chaos. Stability must remain the priority.

Hospitals, farmers, taxpayers, armies impacted…

“The budget can be improved, both in the savings requested and in the new revenues proposed. Added to this are the media outings of the Minister of the Interior, with which I disagree,” notes the MP.

But for him, it is stability that must take precedence. First of all “for those who work in our hospitals and who have need means to act“. But also “those who benefit from national solidarity, which does the honor of the entire Nation by coming to the aid of our compatriots who need it most”.

According to him, voting for censorship would also impact compensation cases faced with the consequences of climatic hazards and would automatically subject 400,000 French people to income tax.

Finally, the farmers “cannot afford to wait several months before the measures promised by the government come into force.” And the armies risk being weakened, as the security of France and that of Europe, “in an international context that is more uncertain than ever”. Companies in the Defense sector also do not benefit from the 25 billion euros in investments from the military programming law.
