FAURE CLAIMS AN OPPOSITION “Useful to the Country”
François Bayrou must pronounce at 3:00 p.m. in front of the National Assembly its general policy statement. An agreement between the government and the PS would mean that the latter would not vote on a motion of censure against the government.
“If the Prime Minister definitively accepts it, it is up to him to announce it“, declared Olivier Faure about this final phase of negotiations, saying he was “serene”. “We are in the process of obtaining a certain number of concessions which I find remarkable because they allow us to break with what we have censored ourselves, one and all, that is to say the Barnier budget”, assured Olivier Faure.
Faced with criticism from the Insoumis, he recalled that the PS was “in opposition, we remain there, but we are a useful opposition, useful to the country“There is a left that is screaming and a left that is working,” he said.
-Regarding pension reform, he called for the opening of a discussion to review the starting age set at 64 by the 2023 law.
An agreement on this would mean non-censorship of the Bayrou government, Olivier Faure clarified unless “if, at some point, it was part of this government’s idea to link its future to that of the extreme right“Then the sanction would be immediate,” he warned.
