“If Michel Barnier imposes his budget by 49.3, our parliamentary groups will table a motion of censure”

LAnger is brewing in the country, fueled every day by a policy of great violence against the world of work, against the middle and working classes. Massive layoff plans in industry, accelerated breakdown of public services and contempt displayed for agents, salaries and pensions no longer allowing them to live with dignity, planned death of numerous agricultural holdings and stigmatization of people from immigrant backgrounds: this race to the abyss must stop now.

How, in the situation of our country, can we accept the injustice and additional irresponsibility of the budget proposed by Michel Barnier? We refuse to do so. It is to meet the needs and expectations of change that the parliamentarians of the New Popular Front (NFP) put forward ambitious proposals, which succeeded in bringing together beyond our single coalition to build majorities and achieve a more socially just and less economically harmful budget.

The budget thus profoundly transformed in the National Assembly under our leadership made it possible to improve the living conditions of the vast majority of French people by placing the effort solely on the wealthiest and the largest companies, largely pampered during the seven years of Emmanuel Macron's presidency.

Back to square one

It also made it possible to reduce the abysmal public deficit left as a legacy by the presidential camp and to free up budgetary room for maneuver to finance the country's major priorities. In this way we would have finally given ourselves the means to avoid further deterioration of public services and to improve the daily lives of the French people!

During the budget debate, Marine Le Pen revealed the true nature of her project by becoming the crutch of Macronism. The people are warned: there is nothing to expect from the National Rally (RN), which sides with the Macronists and refuses to increase levies on the largest companies, the very large fortunes and financial speculation to finance public services. The masks have fallen!

And those who, on purpose, caricatured the NFP for only wanting its program will have ultimately refused any compromise on their finance bill, despite the agreements reached over time. The final alliance of Macronie, the right and the RN led to the rejection of this budget at first reading in the National Assembly.
