Overview
- Left groups LFI, GDR and the Greens, and the RN with UDR, filed separate censure motions that the National Assembly will examine Friday.
- PS leader Olivier Faure said his party will not back any censure motion, citing compromises won and judging 49.3 the least bad option.
- The government targets mid-February promulgation and plans up to three 49.3 invocations across the finance bill, starting with revenues.
- Le Figaro reports Lecornu is expected to trigger 49.3 on the spending section on Friday, subject to the outcome of the censure votes.
- In a letter to lawmakers, Lecornu called the revised budget better with clear priorities, as business leader Patrick Martin criticized it as short-termist and economist Philippe Aghion praised a consensus effort.
