Will the government use 49.3 this week? The finance bill for 2023 (PLF) should be an opportunity for Elisabeth Borne to draw, for the first time in the legislature, article 49 paragraph 3 of the Constitution of the Fifth Republic. The deputies must begin Tuesday, October 11 to tackle the amendments of the PLF, which include in particular a “tariff shield” of 45 billion euros in the face of soaring energy prices. “We can’t talk alone”, estimated Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, on franceinfo.

The RN is also pushing for this measure but the majority rejects the idea of a new tax targeting all economic sectors and refers to the European agreement to involve energy companies.
Some 3,000 opposition amendments. After having tabled some 3,000 amendments, the oppositions have already announced their intention to reject the text. “We cannot allow the debate to get bogged down”warned the Minister of Public Accounts, Gabriel Attal.
