the communist Ian Brossat not opposed to 49.3 if it allows “to move forward in the direction of social progress”

“The problem is that until now, in recent years, 49.3 has always been used to impose unpopular measures,” observes the communist senator. “If that’s it, obviously we’re censoring.”

Communist senator and Paris advisor Ian Brossat does not say he is totally opposed to the use of article 49.3 to pass the budget for 2026, provided that it allows “to move forward in the direction of social progress”, he says Tuesday December 23 on France Inter. After the vote scheduled for Tuesday on a “special law” to continue to provisionally finance the State and administrations, debates on the budget will resume in January.

In this context, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu relaunched a cycle of consultations with political groups and received the Communists in particular on Monday. If section 49.3 is used to pass the budget and “impose an unjust policy, obviously there will be censorship”says Ian Brossat. But “if it is a question of moving forward in the direction of social progress, of ensuring that we remove a certain number of blockages coming from the right, that would not be a problem”, assures the senator.

“The problem is that until now, in recent years, 49.3 has always been used to impose unpopular measures. If that’s it, obviously we’re censoring.” “We demand that we pursue the politics of the majority, not the politics of the minority”says Ian Brossat, estimating that a majority of French people “are in favor of calling into question the privileges of the most fortunate” And “public aid to businesses without compensation”.

Ian Brossat asks “ensure that we take more from very large assets and that we do not ask additional efforts from the middle classes and the working classes who already can’t take it anymore.” “This assumes that the people who block, who refuse any kind of compromise, put a little water in their wine and accept the idea that our country must be able to move forward in the direction of justice and social progress,” he insists.
