Marine Le Pen protests against the expected triggering, too late in her eyes, of article 49.3 by the government to have the budget adopted. “What shocks me is not so much that they use 49.3, but that they did not use it from the start”, she denounced this Sunday, October 16 on the set of BFM Politique in partnership with Le Parisien/Today in France.
” Everyone knows that (the government) will use 49.3, for a very simple reason, which is that it does not have a majority to vote for its budget, that’s it, it’s a fact, it’s the result of the legislative elections, “said the leader of RN deputies in the National Assembly. Before specifying: “But what is debatable is that they are going to release 49.3 after having made us debate for eight or nine days”.
And to detail: “We voted devices to tax super-dividends and to tax super-share buybacks, we voted a device to increase the ceiling of the tax credit for families and their childcare , we voted for devices to increase the value of the meal ticket and they will pass a 49.3 and will put a great pen on everything that has been voted, ”she denounced.
This is where “there is a real denial of the popular will expressed in the National Assembly,” added the former presidential candidate. The government has the choice of the text submitted and may or may not retain amendments.
“We will have a motion of censure ourselves”
The RN manager also clarified that she would not vote “a priori” for a motion of censure presented by Nupes after this 49.3. “A priori no, because we will have a motion of censure ourselves”, she specified, and “it is completely legitimate that in our motion of censure, we find the reasons which are perhaps not not the same as those of La France insoumise, for which we intend to censure” the government.
Asked about a possible change of position on this point, she clarified: “I said that if the government uses a budgetary rider to impose the pension reform in the Social Security financing bill, then not only will we would table a motion of censure, but we would vote for all of the motions of censure tabled, you see that it was a specific case. »
