The text voted by the Senate “does not meet the condition of being compromised,” said the Minister of Public Accounts

Four days before the joint joint committee on the budget, Amélie de Montchalin was the guest of BFMTV.

After the adoption Thursday of a text by the Senate, the Minister of Public Accounts said on Sunday January 26 that this last version “fulfills the condition of reducing the deficit” But not the one “To be the budget for the compromise”. Guest of BFMTV four days from the joint joint committee, which will have to agree on a common version, Amélie de Montchalin recalled that the government's goal is to have a budget that reduces the deficit, does not increase taxes for The middle and popular classes and constitutes a satisfactory compromise for the various political forces represented in a National Assembly without majority.

“It will not be the budget of the right, the budget of the left, the budget of the center, but the budget of the country”explained the Minister of Public Accounts. The joint joint committee, which will bring together seven senators on Thursday and seven deputies, will try to find a compromise on the text. It should thus be widely modified before being submitted to Parliament in early February, under penalty of censorship of the socialists. Their vote could indeed bring down the government of François Bayrou if the rest of the left and the national rally also voted censorship.

Friday, the Minister Deputy Audience Public Accounts alerted to the consequences of a new censorship for the purchasing power of the French. “If there was a new censorship next week, that means that there are 600,000 French people who go on March 15 or May 15 to have to pay an income tax”she had warned on Franceinfo. “It means that there would be 18 million French people who will see their taxes increase.”
