The Assembly rejects a new motion of censure, the budget adopted at first reading

In an atmosphere weighed down by thesession incident caused the day before
by a member of the National Rally, the National Assembly largely rejected this Friday a new motion of censure tabled by LFI against the government, which is worth adopting at first reading the entire draft state budget for 2023.

The motion of the Insoumis collected 188 votes, far from the absolute majority of 289 deputies, despite the support of the RN group. The group including the Communists also voted for censure but not the Socialist Party, which chose not to take part in the ballot. This motion of censure responded to theuse of section 49.3 by the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, for the fourth time in two weeks, in order to pass the Social Security and State budgets without a vote, for lack of an absolute majority in the Assembly.

The finance bill (PLF) thus goes to the Senate, where it will be examined in session from 17 November.
