“I am not an artisan of chaos” | EUROtoday

Edouard Philippe introduced, Monday, December 8, on LCI that he would advocate to the deputies of his social gathering, Horizons, to abstain on the Social Security financing invoice (PLFSS), on the eve of an important vote within the National Assembly.

“This text does not satisfy us and we cannot vote for it”, however “I am not an architect of chaos, I am not proposing to vote against. I never wanted Sébastien Lecornu’s government to fall”specified the previous prime minister, whereas the adoption of this budgetary textual content could be very unsure. “I will propose to them tomorrow, and they will decide, to abstain on the text as it is proposed,” he declared.

“We will not make Horizons deputies vote for a text if it is not in the interest of the French, even if it is a compromise text”added the previous prime minister.

Edouard Philippe estimated that the Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, was taking a ” risk “ by refusing the usage of article 49.3 of the Constitution on this textual content. For him to make use of it “It’s not anti-Republican, it’s certainly not anti-democratic.”
