In the federal government, the speculation is taboo: what would occur on Tuesday, if the National Assembly rejected the Social Security financing invoice (PLFSS)? The rejection of a budgetary textual content at this stage can be unprecedented. But since 2022, Parliament has multiplied precedents.
A vote towards wouldn’t imply a ultimate burial. The Constitution supplies that the federal government can ask the Assembly to rule definitively on a invoice that it has beforehand “voted”. “Voted does not mean adopted, it would remain possible to propose to the Assembly to decide on the text that it rejected, modified if necessary by amendments from the Senate”underlines public regulation professor Mathieu Carpentier. Constitutionally, the federal government may even use 49.3.
The reality stays that this speculation of a textual content submitted for ultimate studying when it had beforehand been rejected by the identical deputies would represent a pressured passage. The authorities may desire to bury the textual content, because the Social Security financing regulation will not be compulsory. Like what occurred a 12 months in the past, this may result in extending the measures from the earlier price range, pending a brand new textual content which might are available in early 2026.
