DIRECT – Budget: the government “commits to ensuring that there will be no delisting of medicines” in 2025

The Confederation of SMEs and U2P stand up against possible government censorship

The employers' organizations Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises (CPME) and U2P expressed concern on Monday about government censorship which could occur this week, calling for the “responsibility” of deputies. “Do not sacrifice our businesses on the altar of your ambitions!”, launched the CPME to the deputies, estimating that government censorship would “only increase our difficulties”. The National Rally announced Monday morning of its intention to vote on the motion of censure that the left could table in the afternoon on the very sensitive text of PLFSS (bill on the financing of social security), if the government had recourse to 49.3 to adopt it. The CPME deplores “the dramatic drift in public accounts, never controlled for years” and fears a France without a budget which “would open the door to a debt crisis whose consequences would hit economic players hard”.

“Leaving our country without a solution would be irresponsible” and “our companies would be the first victims” of the situation, the confederation still judges. The sound of the story is identical to the U2P, which called “parliamentarians to responsibility”, otherwise, according to it, at risk of plunging France “into the most total unknown”.
