Between anger and dejection, the opposition deputies expected Wednesday a new recourse to the constitutional weapon of 49.3 by Elisabeth Borne, to have the rest of the draft budget for Social Security adopted.
Before the National Assembly, Caroline Fiat (LFI) asked if a 49.3 will be drawn this evening and nothing will be taken from the amendments adopted since Tuesday.
Don’t make us work unnecessarily! It would be very frowned upon by the French, she pleaded with the majority and the Minister of Solidarity Jean-Christophe Combe.
When will we be free to stop playing the government circus?, asked Kvin Mauvieux (RN).
The points of order were chained left and right at the start of the session, the deputies asking to extend the debates beyond the term scheduled for Wednesday evening, to have time to examine the some 1,200 amendments on the menu.
We are in a very classic time. In previous budgets, we have held out at the same time, replied Sylvain Maillard (Renaissance).
Yesterday we had debates which took place in a constructive way. Let’s ask ourselves the question (of 49.3) a little later, added rapporteur Stphanie Rist, also a member of Renaissance.

Deprived of an absolute majority, the Prime Minister had activated 49.3 last Thursday to pass without a vote the revenue part of the Social Security financing bill for 2023. The deputies have been discussing the expenditure component at first reading since Tuesday evening.
The draft budget must then go to committee at the Snat next Wednesday.
