The vote on the 2023 budget promises to be electric, for lack of an absolute majority. The use of 49.3 by Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne hovers, even if the government is calling for consultation for the moment.
The presidential party calls for consultation on the 2023 budget. Gabriel Attal wants the different movements to all work together on this subject, he also wants to study all the proposals that will come out of it. The government prefers this method rather than resorting to section 49.3. Despite this desire, the other parties do not agree and want to see the debates conducted within the National Assembly.
Jordan Bardella, member of the National Rally, says: “We have these discussions in parallel which are organized from the National Assembly. I mean that the government is not afraid of the National Assembly.” The National Rally has already expressed the wish not to vote on the budget. Opposition is similar among Republicans. “It is not an accounting act, it is above all a political act”, says Bruno Retailleau. Faced with disagreements, the government could choose to use 49.3.
