The session was coming to an end. While the clock of the hemicycle approached midnight, Friday October 14, the leader of “rebellious” deputies, Mathilde Panot, suddenly speaks to claim the extension of debates on the finance bill (PLF). The elected representative of Val-de-Marne accuses the Minister of Public Accounts, Gabriel Attal, and the presidential coalition of having dragged the discussions to avoid studying this Friday evening the future amendments of the new popular union, ecologist and Social (Nuts) which aim to restore wealth tax (ISF), suppressed in 2017 by Emmanuel Macron.
“It is still weird that just before the ISF amendments, there are two session suspensions, endless speaking of the presidential minority and ministers”, deplores the deputy, surrounded by elected officials of the very mobilized cloud . Her request is all the more justified, according to her, since a “short noise of a 49.3” drawn “on Monday” by the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, ending the discussions on the budget. Mathilde Panot is then supported in her approach by his socialist counterpart of the Landes, Boris Vallaud, who deplores “the dilatory maneuvers of the executive and the majority”.
But this request is immediately refused by the president (Renaissance) of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, who interrupts in the confusion the session a few minutes before the scheduled schedule.
In the process, the elected officials of the cloud are indignant at their Twitter accounts and call for mobilization for their “march against expensive life and climate inaction” organized on Sunday October 16. “Another little penniless in the democratic functioning of our institutions. Pathetic prelude at 49.3?”, Questions the deputy (La France Insoumise, LFI) by Seine-Saint-Denis Raquel Garrido .
slowness of debates
This chaotic end of the evening is the epilogue of a week when the debates on the budget bogged down over the days. While there are even more than 2,100 amendments to be examined – out of 3,300 deposited -, fatigue and weariness began to appear in parliamentarians after five days and evenings of discussions. “We have been there since Monday evening. We cannot say that we are advancing well”, breathes by going to the meeting the deputy (Les Républicains, LR) of Jura Marie-Christine Dalloz.
If all recognize “interesting” debates “, the elected officials now fear that the pace of discussions prevents being able to debate the most divisive subjects of this budget. “We hope it will go as far as the amendments on” superprofits “; we have a lot to say,” said the deputy (LFI) of Seine-Maritime Alma Dufour. But for some elected officials, this slow advance of the debates -they will resume on Monday afternoon -could allow Elisabeth Borne to justify the use of 49.3 at the start of next week. So if the outcome seems inevitable, each camp tries to refer it to it.
