To avoid censorship, Michel Barnier lets go a little more. “The government is committed to ensuring that there will be no delisting of medicines in 2025,” promises Matignon in a press release sent at 1:08 p.m. to the editorial staff. This subject was one of the “red lines” formulated by Marine Le Pen on the budget. In this same text, the Prime Minister's services specify that the head of government spoke on the telephone on this subject with the head of the National Rally “This morning”, before a meeting of far-right deputies this Monday afternoon.
A final move that could allow the Social Security financing bill to finally be accepted in the Assembly from 3 p.m.? Or to ensure the clemency of RN deputies in the event of a motion of censure, this week, following the «probable» 49.3 which would be triggered this afternoon by the Prime Minister on this same Social Security budget? In any case, if the government “reminds” in this press release “the importance and imperative need for France to adopt financial texts and a budget for 2025”, he very opportunely specifies that the “financial trajectory for Social Security, does not itself contain any specific provision on the reimbursement of medicines”. Implied: we are letting go of the planned drug delistings but we are holding on to the PLFSS. To see if that will be enough for the RN deputies who had already obtained from the government that it would not further increase taxes on electricity… before asking for even more.
