And one, and two. Unsurprisingly, the motions of censure from the left and then from the National Rally were rejected this Monday afternoon. Submitted in response to 49.3 triggered by Elisabeth Borne on the “revenue” part of the Social Security budget, they collected respectively 223 and 88 votes out of the 289 necessary to bring down the government.
Accused by the opposition of “trivializing” 49.3, the Prime Minister reproached them in return for their “lies” and “attempts at obstruction” in front of a sparse hemicycle. “I act in the interest of the country and I take my responsibilities,” she said, defending a Social Security budget (PLFSS) which provides for “a further increase in resources” while “guaranteeing the financial sustainability of our model.
These new rejections therefore amount to adoption of “revenues” from the Social Security budget. They must make it possible to begin the examination of its “expenditures”, deemed insufficient for the health system by all the oppositions. Even if a new 49.3 is expected very quickly.
