“Giving up 49.3 was a mistake”, believes Xavier Bertrand, LR president of the Hauts-de-France region

The president of the Hauts-de-France region defends the position of his party leader Bruno Retailleau, who calls on the Prime Minister this Wednesday to use article 49.3 to pass the state and social security budgets

“Giving up on 49.3 was a mistake”estimates Xavier Bertrand, the LR president of the Hauts-de-France region on franceinfo, while Bruno Retailleau calls on Sébastien Lecornu this Wednesday morning to take on article 49.3 for the budget vote.

“But here, today, we should not look for 49.3 as a way to clear ourselves. Are we capable of moving towards a compromise yes or no? And if there is no compromise, are those who want to vote against this budget ready to accept the fact that there will be no budget?”asks Xavier Bertrand. “There is a principle of reality. The situation is very complicated today and this will be the case until 2027”specifies the LR.
