Paris (dpa -AfX) – France’s minority government has pressed the due budget for the current year without coordination by the National Assembly. Prime Minister François Bayrou used a corresponding special article of the constitution. The center-right cabinet is now facing another vote of no confidence. However, the government is expected to survive the vote.
The government’s budget plan provides to reduce the state deficit significantly – including less public expenses. Because of a too high New debt a deficit procedure of the EU Commission against Europe’s second largest economy is underway.
Government fall in the event of no confidence vote
Before the savings budget is finally adopted, it has to pass further hurdles. Because the left -wing party La France Insoumise promptly applied for a vote of no confidence because of the depressed household. This is expected to be voted on on Wednesday. If a majority of the government deprives of trust, the budget would also have failed. However, this is unlikely that the socialists want to stand behind the center-right government.
If the vote fails, the household is accepted in the National Assembly. He then has to be finally adopted in the second parliamentary chamber, the Senate. The consent in the conservative upper house is considered safe.
In December, France’s left warehouse and the right-wing national of Marine Le Pen had overthrew Michel Barnier’s center-right government in the dispute over the social budget with a vote of no confidence./RBO/DP/He
