National Assembly Rejects Censure Motions, Approves Social Security Budget

The National Assembly rejected this Monday the two motions of censure filed respectively by the left (LFI, communists and ecologists, without the PS) and the RN, in response to 49.3 triggered by Elisabeth Borne on the “revenue” part of the budget of social Security. This rejection constitutes adoption on first reading of this part of the text. The motions obtained 223 and 88 votes respectively out of 289 required to bring down the government.
Accused by the opposition of “trivializing” 49.3, the Prime Minister reproached them in return for their “lies” and “attempts at obstruction”, in front of a sparse hemicycle. “I act in the interest of the country and I take my responsibilities,” she said, defending a Social Security budget (PLFSS) which provides for “a further increase in resources” while “guaranteeing the financial sustainability of our model.
The Assembly “does not want your budget”, told him the LFI deputy Hadrien Clouet. “Whether it is out of disinterest, lack of seriousness or because you are a jerk when it comes to social protection, you must leave.” The elected RN Pierre Meurin, for his part, denounced “a third party medical globalization” of the country.
The next part of the Social Security budget, on “expenses”, includes controversial savings measures, such as the possibility of suspending an insured person’s daily allowances when a doctor mandated by his employer judges his work stoppage to be unjustified. Or the reduction in reimbursement for an insured person refusing shared medical transport.
