They will not ally themselves with the New Popular Front (NFP). The deputies of the National Rally (RN) will not vote on a possible rejection motion from the left before the examination of the state budget, the group’s vice-president Jean-Philippe Tanguy announced on Sunday, almost certainly burying its chances of adoption.
The La France insoumise group has prepared a motion to reject the government copy, the examination of which will begin on Monday in the chamber. The left denounces an “austerity budget”, but could also find it in the interest of the debate not to be interrupted by the rejection motion, to obtain victories in the chamber as well as in the commission.
Tanguy denounces the “corridor scams”
The adoption of this motion would interrupt the debate on the text, but would a priori require the support of the votes of the entire left and at least part of the RN deputies. “We will not vote on the rejection motion (…) because it is a gift to Michel Barnier,” Jean-Philippe Tanguy said on BFMTV.
“They are very happy that there is a rejection motion and that the budget is not discussed in front of the French, (…) and that Mr Barnier can do his little shenanigans with the Macronists in the corridors”, continued the MP Somme, in reference to measures that would allow the government to adopt a budget without a real debate in the Assembly.
The left-wing parties “try to endanger the French budget and adopt a strategy of chaos”, denounced the LR deputy Vincent Jeanbrun in the program “A Sunday in politics” on France 3. On the contrary, the left criticizes the RN for voting at the end of the committee, and with the government camp, against a reworked version of the “revenue” part of the 2025 budget, with tens of billions in new tax revenue, particularly on the “superprofits” of large companies.
This bill rewritten in committee no longer has “a backbone”, Jean-Philippe Tanguy justified on Sunday, accusing the right and the Macronists of having “voluntarily allowed this budget to deteriorate and then criticize it”. In any case, on Monday the Assembly will return to the hemicycle of the first copy of the government, to discuss, this time in plenary, the 2025 budget
