The National Assembly adopted Thursday, February 9 at first reading, and against the opinion of the government, a socialist text for a “nationalization” of EDF without risk of “dismantling”, but also for a pricing shield extended to craftsmen, especially bakers.
The text of the deputy of Eure Philippe Brun was adopted with 205 votes against 1, at the end of a stormy session between the opposition and the presidential camp. The latter left the hemicycle by accusing one of the articles of bypassing the Constitution on the price shield.
The majority deputies judge the measure without legal link with the proposal for the nationalization of EDF and contrary to the Constitution, because adding a financial charge for the State. “It is an extremely serious precedent for our institutions, it is a very clear violation of article 40 of the Constitution,” said the general rapporteur of the finance committee Jean-René Cazeneuve (Renaissance).
