On Friday, the income facet of the Social Security finance invoice (PLFSS) was adopted due to a number of compromises – on the CSG, on the abandonment of the rise in medical deductibles, and so on. –, but additionally due to the numerous absent within the hemicycle, particularly within the ranks of the National Rally.

And his troops largely abstained on Friday on the income facet.

Enough to probably derail the adoption of the PLFSS regardless of the quite a few concessions made to the Socialist Party (PS).

A response to the federal government spokesperson who estimated in La Tribune Sunday than a resignation “wouldn’t make sense”. The Prime Minister would in any other case “engaged the responsibility of the government”lastly deciding to resort to 49.3 – which he nonetheless refuses to do.

For the chief, the state of affairs is severe. The Minister of Labor, Jean-Pierre Farandou, sounded the alarm on France 3 a couple of “political crisis”, ” economic “ And “social” within the occasion of rejection of the PLFSS. If the latter isn’t adopted, the federal government has repeatedly predicted that the “Secu” deficit would plunge to round 30 billion euros in 2026, in comparison with 23 in 2025. For its half, the draft state price range, much more divisive, remains to be being examined within the Senate.
