"As it stands, I don't see how this budget can pass," warns Charles de Courson, the general rapporteur of the National Assembly's finance committee.

The MP (Liot) for Marne believes that the Prime Minister "has given in to the ultra-rich" on certain points of his plan to restore public finances.

Even he has doubts. Charles de Courson, the general rapporteur of the National Assembly's finance committee, admits that he has not understood certain points of the plan to redress public finances presented by François Bayrou. " As it stands, I don't see how this budget can pass ," warned MP Liot in an interview with Le Monde on Sunday, July 20. "As it stands, we will not vote for this budget. Even within the central bloc, a camouflaged increase in tax pressure is not necessarily well received and can create some tensions."

The elected representative from Marne, a member of the Liberties, Independents, Overseas Territories group, believes that the Prime Minister "has given in to the ultra-rich, who believe that everyone must make an effort, including the poorest of our fellow citizens. This is not reasonable."

While the left and far-right opposition are already calling for the government to be overthrown, Charles de Courson acknowledges that "the risk of censorship is real." He adds: " At Liot, we are in constructive opposition," but " it is true that even in our group, some elected officials are increasingly motivated to censure this government."
