The Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, took responsibility for her government on the revenue side of the draft Social Security budget for 2024 on Wednesday October 25, using 49.3, her third since the resumption of parliamentary work in September. Earlier in the day, the National Assembly had rejected the first three articles of the Social Security budget planned by the government.
“Despite our overtures, once again, the practice according to which opposition groups refuse to vote on a budget, whatever it may be, has prevailed,” declared Ms. Borne during a short intervention at the podium of The national assembly. Article 49.3 of the Constitution allows the adoption of a text without a vote, unless a motion of censure is adopted against the government.
The La France insoumise group has already announced its intention to table a motion of censure, with the signatures of communist and environmentalist deputies. The National Rally group will also table its own motion.
