The campaign continues in the National Assembly. With the examination of the bill on purchasing power, which begins Monday July 18 in public session, then the one on the connective budget to finance, among other things, these measures, the deputies will tackle the two most important texts of This beginning of the legislature on a theme which monopolized the speeches and programs of the presidential and the legislative elections.
A week after the episode of the COVID -19 bill where the new popular, ecological and social union (NUPPES), the National Rally (RN) and the Republicans (LR) have set up the government – Subsequently qualified as “night hotness” by Emmanuel Macron -, this is a real test for the presidential coalition.
The issue is all the stronger since the two texts studied in the Assembly this week take up the promises of candidate Macron. The first bill provides in particular for the tripling of the “Macron premium”, the revaluation of 4 % of pensions and social minima or that of 3.5 % on housing aid. The debates are likely to be even harsher, on the second text that makes up “this purchasing power pack”, the amending finance bill (PLFR) whose examination is planned from Thursday.
1,100 amendments in forty-eight hours
If it allows the financing, up to 20 billion, of government measures, this PLFR also includes certain provisions decried on the side of oppositions. Among them, the abolition of the audiovisual fee, a food check of 100 euros intended for eight million households, or a “fuel compensation for workers” which will gradually replace the discount of 18 cents per liter of petrol. On all these emblematic measures, the presidential majority could be put in difficulty.
just for the bill purchasing power, nearly 1,100 amendments were tabled in forty-eight hours. “In committee, the debates have not been extremely fruitful because it was not enough, we have not had enough time, admits, Mathieu Lefèvre, coordinator of the finance committee for the Renaissance group. Everyone has deposited their amendments without Consulting themselves. “The discussions between the government and the presidential majority also lasted until late this weekend to settle the last points of friction.
Among them, the deconjugalization of the disabled adult allowance (AAH) claimed by the oppositions during the first five -year term of Emmanuel Macron, but rejected each time by the majority before the Head of State changes from Notice during the presidential campaign. An agreement between most parliamentary groups seemed to have been reached to act the entry into force of the measure at 1 er October 2023. A date which no longer satisfies the oppositions in view of the amendments deposited to advance its establishment. Another amendment adopted in committee against the government’s advice provides for the State to compensate “to the nearby euro” the expenses of local authorities caused by the revaluation of the index point in the public service and the RSA. The executive is thus obliged to offer an alternative to oppositions, ready to vote this measure valued at 1.6 billion euros.
