after the rejection of the motion of censure by the Assembly on the revenue part, Elisabeth Borne activates a new 49.3 on the entire text

An expected scenario. The National Assembly rejected, by 89 votes out of the 289 required, a motion of censure brought by La France insoumise, Sunday November 26, equivalent to adoption of the revenue part of the Social Security budget. In the process, Elisabeth Borne held the government responsible for the expenditure part of this budget and for the entire text. This is the 19th 49.3 used by Élisabeth Borne or on her behalf since her appointment to Matignon.

The LFI group immediately announced the tabling of a motion of censure, which should, like the others, fail to obtain a majority of the votes of deputies. This will allow the government to see the entire PLFSS adopted on second reading in the Assembly. The text can then resume its legislative journey in the Senate.

In her speech in response to the rebellious motion of censure, Elisabeth Borne used a well-known argument, pointing out the need for France to have a budget, and the absence of “alternative majority capable of governing”. “We need the Social Security financing bill to keep our social model alive”she added later, drawing out 49.3, barely opening the debate on the spending part of the bill.
