DIRECT. Budget 2025: Michel Barnier commits “the responsibility of his government” by using 49-3, follow the situation

And without recourse to 49.3, what scenario?

If the Prime Minister, however, decided not to resort to 49.3 and the text was simply rejected by the oppositions, he would leave for a new parliamentary shuttle. There would then remain the risk that deputies would table a motion of censure on their own initiative, using article 49.2 of the Constitution. It is in this way, and not after a 49.3, that the government of Georges Pompidou fell in 1962. As it stands, the use of 49.3 is “probable but all avenues remain possible” a deputy close to Michel Barnier told AFP on Sunday evening.
