FRANCE: PM Bayrou Survives Another Censure Vote As PLFSS Passage Advances

FRANCE
Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletCEEMEAEurozoneFranceBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

The gov't of PM Francois Bayrou has survived his third censure vote in the National Assembly in under a week. The motion came in relation to Bayrou forcing through the Social Security Financing Bill (PLFSS) without a vote in the Assembly using Art. 49.3 of the constitution. Utilising this method immediately allows the opposition to put forward a censure motion against the gov't. The failure of today's motion is not a surprise, with the centre-left Socialist Party (PS) and the far-right Rassemblement National (National Rally, RN) both declining to back the vote put forward by the far-left La France Insoumise (France Unbowed, LFI). As such the motion secured only 115 votes, well short of the 289 needed to remove the gov't. 

  • Following the failure of the motion, Bayrou again utilised Art 49.3, for the third section of the PLFSS relating to state expenditures. This is the fourth time the article has been utilised as part of this budget process, and will likely result in another doomed censure motion.
