He had made the opposition cringe during the pension reform and he is likely to be back with great fanfare in the coming weeks: 49.3. “We will have to resort, certainly this fall, to 49.3, underlined Élisabeth Borne this Sunday at the microphone of RTL, because our country needs a budget”.
The Prime Minister thus returns to a subtlety stated at the end of March: “The objective that I set for the future is not 49.3, apart from the financial texts.” Warned, the detractors of this controversial article had better watch out: “On financial texts and in particular the (State) Budget and the Social Security budget, the oppositions consider that voting for a budget, ‘is to say one’s belonging to a majority’.
The Prime Minister recognizes, however, that parties which do not belong to the presidential majority have “the right” to oppose the executive budget. But if they denounce that the situation is “blocked”, she affirms “that we are moving forward for the French”. Élisabeth Borne notably recalls the texts voted on in recent months on “renewable energies”, “nuclear” and even “purchasing power”.
