Senate adopts Social Security budget bill. The upper house of Parliament, dominated by the right and the center, validated the Social Security financing project (PLFSS) for 2025, with 202 votes for and 109 against. A joint joint committee (CMP), will meet behind closed doors closed from Wednesday afternoon with seven deputies and seven senators, responsible for reaching a compromise.
The threat to the government is becoming clearer. “Every time there is a 49.3, we will file a motion of censure”declared the president of the La France insoumise group in the Assembly, Mathilde Panot, during a press conference. Environmentalists and socialists announced in the morning that they will also vote for this motion of censure. It remains to be seen whether the National Rally will join the votes of the deputies of the New Popular Front to overthrow the government.
Limited use of article 49.3. Three budgetary texts are likely to be subject to 49.3 and therefore to a motion of censure. First, the Social Security financing bill from next week, then the end-of-management finance bill, finally the finance bill for 2025 before Christmas. If the motions of censure are voted by an absolute majority of deputies, the government must resign.
