They want to shorten the debates. Like Philippe Juvin, Les Républicains (LR) deputy for Hauts-de-Seine, several elected officials from the “common base” ask the Prime Minister, Michel Barnier, “to signal the end of the recess and very quickly use article 49.3 to approve the budget.” And for these LR or Renaissance deputies, the sooner the better. “There is a perverse effect in not using it immediatelyJuvin said at the Franceinfo microphone, on Friday the 1stAhem November. Since all the deputies know that it will end with 49.3, they free themselves and propose everything in their amendments. »
The right thus accuses the New Popular Front (NFP), associated with the National Rally (RN), of having already voted 60 billion euros in additional taxes in the revenue part of the finance bill (PLF). “This budget no longer seems like anything. You have to get the 49.3 pretty quickly”, “, confirms the elected official (LR) of the Territory of Belfort, Ian Boucard. “The French have already contemplated enough the great nonsense of the RN amendments and the “rebels”expands Jean-Didier Berger, LR deputy for Hauts-de-Seine. 49.3, which is the constitutional tool most hated by the French, will become a protection tool for them. »
In Laurent Wauquiez’s Republican Right group, several elected officials consider it impossible to vote on this budget as it is. A quick 49.3 would have the merit of allowing them to return to the Government’s initial copy and then negotiate the amendments that will be retained for “stop tax increases and go further in reducing spending”says Jean-Didier Berger. However, some ask for patience. “You have to wait a little and distance yourself from the blunt style of Elisabeth Borne”Philippe Gosselin clarifies. The elected LR from La Mancha refers to the systematic and rapid use of 49.3 by the former prime minister to approve the last two budgets.
“We need an act of authority”
Having once again been a Renaissance deputy, Mme Borne encourages Michel Barnier in this direction. “Taking responsibility for a version of the budget in which we take into account the amendments presented to the Assembly is a less bad solution”explained the elected official of Calvados to RTL on October 30. Several members of the Ensemble pour la République (EPR) group advocate this solution. “We wouldn’t be unhappy if it reached 49.3”admits the Moselle deputy Ludovic Mendes. “It is paradoxical that the deputies request the use of 49.3, but we need an act of authority”argues Mathieu Lefèvre (Val-de-Marne), main defender of Macronist supply policy with Charles Rodwell (Yvelines) and Charles Sitzenstuhl (Bas Rhine).
