As expected, François Bayrou drew the first 49.3 from his mandate on Monday, February 3, first on the state budget, then that of Social Security. “No country can live without budget and France less than any other,” he justified. As also expected, rebellious France has deposited a motion of censorship in the process, which should be debated and subject to the vote on Wednesday. But without the voices of the socialists, this motion has no chance of succeeding: however, the PS said that it would not vote it, further digging the gap within the left.

For the secretary general of the CFDT, the adoption of budgets is “a necessary evil”

Asked about the concessions made to the socialists by the Prime Minister to avoid their censorship, Marylise Léon replied: “I am not saying that the discussion did not allow a certain number of advances, like the 4,000 teaching positions maintained “,” Nevertheless there are hard measures, such as the decrease in compensation for sick leave, which will weigh on the world of work “.
Faced with the risk of instability, the RN should not vote for censorship
The national rally, which will make its decision on Wednesday morning, should not vote on the budget so as not to worsen “instability”, said Jordan Bardella on Europe1/CNews on Tuesday morning.
“We must avoid uncertainty because there are many of our compatriots, while the year 2025 is committed, which are extremely worried about instability which could settle in the duration,” justified the boss of the Starting from the flame, stressing further that this censorship had no chance of being adopted after the socialists’ refusal to vote it.

Olivier Faure defends the choice of the PS not to censor
In a context of maximum tension between the PS and the rebellious France, Olivier Faure recalled on France Inter this Tuesday morning that “it is not Jean-Luc Mélenchon who says who is on the left and who is on the right”. “And even less the one who says who belongs to the new Popular Front,” he added. “I observe that our ecologists and communist comrades do not have the same look at what we do,” said the boss of the socialists.
Recalling that the latter had voted against the state budget in the Senate and in a joint joint committee, the deputy of Seine-et-Marne nevertheless estimated about the censorship that “evil would be worse”. Backing the Bayrou government would believe, according to him, “having a prime minister more on the right who negotiates his own survival with the far right” or “a resignation from the head of state”. The latter would constitutionally trigger an election “in 35 days”. “Should someone seriously think that the left prevails?”, He asked.
Repeating being “in opposition”, Olivier Faure defended the upcoming deposit of a spontaneous censure motion (article 49.2 of the Constitution) against the Prime Minister who spoke of a feeling among the French of migration “submersion”. “We have chosen to give a budget to France” but “we will return to a form of trumping of the public debate” in France, “under the influence in particular of Bruno Retailleau”, the Minister LR of the Interior.

On TF1 this Tuesday morning, MP LFI Clémence Watcht called the socialists to “pull themselves together”. “We have another twenty-four hours to hope that the socialists vote in their soul and conscience,” she said, before tackling: “They let themselves have by going to Matignon, to Call ‘the left responsible’ compared to ‘rebellious’.
For his part, Eric Coquerel judged on RTL that the socialists were “no longer in opposition, but in support without participation in the government”. “They are in the majority,” he added, speaking of “a form of betrayal of the new popular front”.
The non-censorship of the PS “consumes its rallying to the Bayrou government […] The NFP is reduced by a party, “said Monday evening in a blog note Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
