The day after the outbreak of the decried 49.3, the Minister of Relations with Parliament, Franck Riester, assured Thursday that the draft budget could still be “enriched” by parliamentarians, while assuming to have rejected any proposal from the RN or LFI.
The text that we tabled at 49.3 will not be the final text, said the minister to the Association of Parliamentary Journalists (AJP).
Thanks to this constitutional tool activated on Wednesday by Lisabeth Borne, the revenue part of the budget will be adopted without a vote at first reading, except the unlikely adoption of a motion of censure in the coming days. But the text will still have to be examined in the Senate, then be the subject of a new reading and then a final reading, recalled the minister.
Obviously, there will still be enrichments of the text because it is our state of mind, argued the minister. While recalling that any new proposal should respect the red lines of the government, excluding in particular any increase in taxation.
Mr. Riester also recalled that the executive had set itself the principle of only retaining proposals from the Republican arch. In the text submitted to 49.3, the executive retained amendments from all parties except those specifically initiated by the RN and LFI, he underlined.
Nobanques: the cheapest offers to control your budget
Our position is simple, clear, we respect all the deputies and the readers. (…) However, we make the political choice not to have a political agreement with the representatives of these parties, continued the minister.
Because according to him, RN and LFI have a desire toantagonize society, to divide the French among themselves: for some it is always the fault of the immigrants, for others, it is always the fault of the rich or the companies.
