The government is following its roadmap. The finance bill was adopted at first reading in the National Assembly early Friday evening, November 4, after the broad rejection of a motion of censure carried by the group La France insoumise. The text only obtained 188 votes out of the 289 necessary, despite the support of the RN group. This failure leads toadoption at first reading of the entire draft state budget for 2023.

The LFI group had tabled its motion of censure on November 2 after the release of a fourth 49.3 by Elisabeth Borne. This motion was once again tabled by the LFI group alone, without the other left-wing parties united under the banner of Nupes. The socialists, on the same line as the ecologists, feared a “trivialization of motions of censure”. “We will find ourselves on a motion of censure rather on the end of these texts” budgets in December, had assured the leader of the deputies LFI Mathilde Panot.

A motion less supported than the previous ones

In detail, 71 of the 75 members of the LFI group voted in favor of this motion of censure according to the count published on the site of the National Assembly. In percentage and number of votes, the deputies of the National Rally voted more for this motion (87 deputies out of 89) than their LFI colleagues.

The Socialists, who are members of Nupes, all abstained. Among the environmentalists, 17 out of 23 deputies supported the motion, as did twelve members of the group Democratic and Republican Left (out of 22). Finally, a non-registered deputy (Nicolas Dupont-Aignan) voted in favor of this motion.
