It’s a bit like the marriage of the carp and the rabbit. The parliamentary group of La France insoumise would vote on a possible motion of censure tabled by Les Républicains (LR) in the National Assembly to bring down the government after the budgetary slippage of 2023, said Tuesday the head of LFI deputies Mathilde Panot.
“When you vote for a motion of censure, you do not agree with the people who carry it. The motion of censure allows both the government and the text to be brought down,” she said at a press conference, her political family having a radically different vision from that of the right regarding the control of public spending. “We will not accept the destruction of the social model as is taking shape,” she asserted.
LR’s “red lines”
In a daily interview The Parisianthe president of the Republicans, Éric Ciotti, set on Saturday the “red lines” of LR (tax increases, deindexation of pensions, health expenses) beyond which the party “will not hesitate” to file a motion of censure against the government.
The party has long threatened to censure the government, but until now it has largely refrained from joining the vote on the motions of censure tabled by the opposition during the examination of the latest draft laws. finances.
Fabien Roussel declared Tuesday morning on franceinfo that the communists would also vote on a motion of censure which would be tabled by LR. Just like the National Rally (RN), ready to join LR and the left to bring down the government, MP Jean-Philippe Tanguy said on Sunday.
No amending budget
Emmanuel Macron on Monday rejected the idea of an amending budget for 2024. “I don’t see the point. The government must do things seriously to meet our objectives,” he said. But the possible tabling of a motion of censure is not necessarily linked to the presentation of an amending budget.
“In the event that there is no amending finance bill, we ourselves would table a motion of censure,” Mathilde Panot said on Tuesday. The head of LR Eric Ciotti, for his part, had not ruled out the possibility before the Olympic Games.
