“We were fooled, they are burying the NFP”: Jean-Luc Mélenchon denounces the PS’s calls for a new “central bloc”

Reacting this Wednesday on his specifies the risk of censorship in retaliation for the use of 49.3 to obtain the forced passage of Michel Barnier's controversial budget.

“One after the other, the leaders of the PS are publicly calling for a new common base “central bloc” and burying the NFP. Yet the voters elected them as NFP. We were fooled”, wrote in comment the leader of the Rebels.

Questioned by Jean-Jacques Bourdin on the consequences of censorship which would lead to the resignation of the government, and on the situation of chaos in which the country would find itself, as Michel Barnier raised the hypothesis Tuesday evening on TF1, Philippe Brun wanted to reassure the French. “But today we see that we cannot function with a minority government, we already knew that,” continued the MP. “It doesn't work because to pass a budget, you need a majority to adopt it, and I believe that we have to find a way to have a majority government which is certainly not that of Michel Barnier”, continued the elected official.

“A government of public safety”

On the solutions to achieve this, Philippe Brun advises looking at how the National Assembly works today. “There is a pivotal group, which obtains the most amendments, it is the socialist group, it is it which manages to find compromises between the macronists who are adversaries and the NFP of which we are part. By this group , we can find solutions by appointing a center-left Prime Minister who would succeed in making this alliance and these discussions with all the groups to pass a budget.

Philippe Brun, however, rejects the hypothesis of a government which would bring together Macronists and Communists. “It would be a form of fraud,” considers the deputy for Eure, who suggests “a left-wing government, with only around ten ministers, and which enters into a non-censorship budget agreement with the central bloc.

“We will all have to take our responsibilities”

And the RN and LFI in this scenario? “The RN would be excluded, as for LFI, they have expressed their refusal to participate in a government so as not to be blocked. The Insoumis would be on the fringes of the government but would be part of this form of majority which cannot be conceived without it. important group of La France insoumise”, indicated Philippe Brun.

“What we need,” he further clarified, “is to find a larger majority and a government of public safety. We must discuss it with the rebels, but we will have to take our responsibilities in any case We are not going to have a budget or a government at Christmas Let's ask ourselves the question of the economic situation of the country, France must be governed, we need a tight government of republican defense which must succeed in finding this compromise. to the National Assembly to pass a budget: it is the priority of the next Prime Minister”, concluded the socialist deputy. Obviously, Jean-Luc Mélenchon did not appreciate it very much.
