“By having made the renunciation of 49.3 a condition of their non-censorship agreement, the socialists have in reality trapped themselves” | EUROtoday

HASfter the resignation of François Bayrou, on September 8, the President of the Republic selected to nominate Sébastien Lecornu prime minister, entrusting him with the mission of “consult the political forces with a view to adopting a budget and building the agreements essential to the decisions of the coming months”. After a number of weeks of negotiations and some twists and turns, together with the appointment of a primary Lecornu authorities which solely lasted fourteen hours, a type of non-censorship settlement appears to have been concluded between the forces of the “common base” (Renaissance, MoDem, Horizons and Les Républicains) and the Socialist Party.

The latter had set two basic circumstances for such an settlement: the abandonment of article 49, paragraph 3 of the Constitution, and the suspension of pension reform. He received his case on these two factors, with a solemn dedication from the Prime Minister. However, there isn’t a assure, on the one hand, that the suspension of this reform will really be adopted by Parliament, as a result of the vote falls to the deputies and senators, who can principally vote towards. On the opposite hand, with out activation of article 49, paragraph 3, the very adoption of a finances appears strongly compromised.

Remember that the State finances is the results of two separate legal guidelines, one known as “finance”, which notably consists of all fiscal measures, such because the provisions referring to the taxation of upper incomes (whether or not it’s the Zucman tax or a lighter measure), the opposite known as “financing Social Security”, which incorporates the suspension of the pension reform. The dialogue and vote on every of those legal guidelines operates individually. In addition, every of those legal guidelines requires at the least two separate votes: one on the income half – taxes, duties and any measure making it potential to complement the State finances –, the opposite, on the half expenditure, that’s to say the budgets allotted to every ministry. Finally, every of those votes should happen through the varied readings of the textual content, within the National Assembly and within the Senate.
