The government has decided to draw up article 49.3 of the public finance programming law. Nupes intends to file a motion of censure.
Élisabeth Borne held her government accountable last night by using article 49.3 of the public finance programming law. Please note, we are not talking about the budget for next year, the public finance programming law is in a way the government’s roadmap on the budgetary level for the years to come. It is in this roadmap that the government commits to reducing the deficit to 4.8% in 2022 and to 2.7% in 2027.
The government has very little chance of being overthrown
It is a road map which is transmitted to the European Union. Élisabeth Borne’s argument for using this 49.3 is to say that if we do not transmit this trajectory, France will not be able to benefit from a certain amount of funding amounting to 18 billion euros between 2023 and 2024 , For example. This text had already been rejected last year. Clearly, 49.3 also means possible motion of censure. On the left and Nupes side, we have already announced that we are going to submit one.
No response yet from the National Rally. This is very unlikely for Republican elected officials, which means that the government has very little chance of being overthrown, specifies France Télévisions journalist Guillaume Daret.
