The National Group will vote, with the left, a motion of censure against Barnier’s government “if the purchasing power of the French is reduced” for the budget, declared Marine Le Pen on Wednesday, November 20.
“It’s a red line. And if this red line is really crossed, we will vote in favor of censure.” in the event that the government resorts to 49-3 to try to get its budget approved, said the leader of the RN deputies on RTL.
“The problem is not 49-3”justified Marine Le Pen, who announced that she will be received by the Prime Minister, Michel Barnier, next Monday, which apparently was not enough to appease her. “Will Mr Barnier honor the commitment he made to ensure that opposition groups can recognize elements in his budget that they consider essential? »he wondered. “Our elements were not to increase taxes on people, on businessmen, not to make retirees pay, to make structural savings in State spending. But we have not been heard.”.
A government “under surveillance” of the RN
The leader of the RN deputies could censure the left-wing government in December, when the budget is returned to the National Assembly. Michel Barnier confirmed that he would hire ” probably “ the responsibility of his government by activating article 49.3 of the Constitution, which allows the adoption of the text without a vote.
Barely entering Matignon on September 5, the Prime Minister had been placed “under surveillance” by the former National Front. For a long time, the RN justified the pardon granted to Michel Barnier by concern for “stability of institutions” and the fear that his fall will lead to a prime minister even more unfavorable to the far right. Arguments that are increasingly difficult to defend against voters who want to overthrow the executive, and with which elected officials currently cannot relate any of the “trophies” program that Marine Le Pen promised to take away from Matignon.
Five years of disqualification were imposed on the Pas-de-Calais deputy in the case of FN parliamentary assistants, in addition to five years in prison (two of which are fixed, convertible with an electronic bracelet) and a fine of 300,000 euros.
