“To say that France would not have a budget in the event of censorship is false” | EUROtoday
Lwhen he used 49.3 on the state finances on Monday, February 3, [le premier ministre] François Bayrou repeated that“No country could live without budget, and France less than any other”. This reasoning can also be invoked by the socialist group in order to not vote censorship. It is an incantation with out taking with actuality: whether or not this authorities is censored or not, there shall be a finances. The different shouldn’t be the Bayrou finances or no finances. It is the Bayrou finances or the finances of the 2024 finances, the time it can take. It wouldn’t be the one needed by the federal government, however a finances.
Let us keep in mind: earlier than the censorship of the Barnier authorities, we have been advised that important playing cards would now not work and that civil servants would now not be paid. A lie that was consciously uttered. Its authors knew that the natural legislation, which was not new, offered for the opportunity of adopting a particular legislation to unravel the issue. Now, to attempt to keep away from censorship within the Bayrou authorities, there are different hole formulation.
“There will be no budget”: that is false
There is already a finances, offered for by the particular legislation in pressure since 1er January 2025. The State can carry the tax, pay civil servants, subsidize and spend money on the mannequin of what was executed in 2024. We wish to clarify that it’s inconceivable to spend the yr below the regime of the Special legislation. Once once more, that is mistaken. This would even assure a greater finances than that of François Bayrou, since we’d keep away from his 9 billion euros in austerity cuts.
We would due to this fact go away with the identical finances as 2024, which had allowed the nation to function when it was not totally consumed by the assorted governments. There are 5 billion euros that that they had chosen to not spend and that we might use this yr. Finally, if it was not sufficient, there are nonetheless 12.5 billion euros that energy reserved in 2024 and that it refuses to unlock, as soon as once more within the title of the particular legislation. I remind you that Spain, praised for its financial efficiency, has operated for 3 years with the identical budgetary framework, which has been renewed twice since 2023.
