LR and left-wing deputies each announced that they would refer the matter to the Constitutional Council after the adoption of the 2024 draft budget in Parliament.
The right had announced an appeal upon final adoption on Thursday, protesting against the repeated use of the constitutional weapon of 49.3 to pass the finance bill (PLF) without a vote.
Due to the triggering of article 49 paragraph 3 extremely early, (…) not a single amendment to the first part of the PLF for 2024 will have been discussed in session of the National Assembly, denounces in his appeal the LR group, which sees this as an attack on the right to amend.
Right and left also criticize the Fifa amendment, a very advantageous tax system which aims to attract sports federations to France.
Finally, the LRs consider that a tax applicable to motorway companies presents legal weaknesses.
In an appeal sent on Friday, deputies from the four left-wing groups (LFI, PS, environmentalist, communist) point out conditions that they consider too restrictive to allow the extraction of toxic waste stored in Stocamine (Haut-Rhin).
Measures to extract buried waste would only be taken when damage was observed, criticize the deputies, who fear lasting damage to the environment.
The left also denounces an extended tax exemption for raw distillers, fearing a danger to public health.
Among other grievances, she also denounces a measure allowing part of the Livret A and the sustainable and solidarity development booklet to be directed towards the financing of companies in the French defense industry. These deputies see it as a legislative rider unrelated to the finance bill.
The Constitutional Council must decide before the end of 2023 so that the law can come into force on January 1.
