No epilogue in view for the examination of the amending finance bill. It is 2:15 a.m., on the night of Monday, July 25 to Tuesday July 26, when the evidence imposes itself on all the deputies present in the hemicycle. The continuation of discussions on the financing of the “package power package” of more than 20 billion euros to deal with inflation by the end of 2022 will go no further. Thus decided, one hour earlier, the conciliabule brings together at the foot of the perch: the Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of Public Accounts, Gabriel Attal, the Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament, Franck Riester, The president of the meeting, Caroline Fiat (La France Insoumise, LFI) and all the representatives of the parliamentary groups. After the late adoption of article 6 -out of fifteen in total -the debates were to resume late afternoon on Tuesday.

Contrary to what many deputies hoped and while they remain even more than 230 amendments to study, elected officials have not emerged from the stagnation that characterizes the debates in the eyes of the government and a large part of The hemicycle. The deputies, tested by four days and as many debates on the bill purchasing power, have followed discussions around the second part of this “emergency” legislation on Friday and Saturday. “It is not good to legislate in the night,” blamed the deputy National Rally (RN), Sébastien Chenu.

We are witnessing a real deviation from the democratic debate. “

” Let’s take public accounts! “

Should we talk about a blockage of parliamentary activity or an underestimation of the new deal to the National Assembly? Basically, it was the very philosophy of this PLFR that fueled the controversies between the Nuts and the presidential majority. For the president LFI of the finance committee, Eric Coquerel, as for the elected officials of the Union of the left, this bill should have allowed “to rebuild the public hospital”, to set up “free canteens public “, to” revalue the salaries of civil servants “by 10 %, or” to increase the activity bonus for single -parent families “. However, this is by no means the subject of this text, planned to adopt “emergency measures to increase purchasing power”, retorted all evening Mr. Le Maire and the deputies of the presidential coalition. Reminders to order that have not shaken the determination of the elected officials of the cloud.
