“I will not vote for such a budget,” says Charles de Courson (Liot), who denounces the “increase in compulsory levies”
“The Prime Minister has the merit of recalling that France will not be able to continue like this”estimated Charles de Courson, general rapporteur of the budget at the National Assembly, Wednesday on Europe 1, alerting to the degradation of public finances.
MP Liot de la Marne, however, stressed that “In these 44 billion savings, there are 14 billion increases in compulsory levies”which include the abolition of two holidays, the abolition of certain tax niches or even tax equity measures. “It should not be said that this is massively a reduction in public expenditure”he insisted.
Mr. de Courson alerted to the need for a contribution requested from companies in return for those requested from employees with the abolition of public holidays. “Otherwise, on the differential, you enrich the companies, that the Prime Minister did not say it”he said.
The deputy also notes the increase in certain new spontaneous expenses, such as the defense budget, the interest of the debt, or the contribution to the European Union, for a total of 20 billion additional expenses.
« The priority is to reduce public expenditure ”he said, recommending in particular measures “Symbolic” relating to the advantages enjoyed by former ministers or former presidents from the Republic.
Asked about the position of his group as to a possible censorship of the Bayrou government, Mr. de Courson assured that they should “Discuss it at the end of the morning”. “It would surprise me that there are many of our colleagues who vote for this type of proposals”however, he noted. Personally, “ I will not vote for such a budget ”he assured, adding: “From there to vote the motion of censorship, we will discuss it. »»
