The info not to miss
After a long summer break, the work of the National Assembly resumes this afternoon, and the return of the deputies is busy.
In an already very tense climate, the contested bill which initiates a new reform of unemployment insurance is immediately on the program, after a debate on Ukraine.
The debates promise to be agitated in the hemicycle with the left-wing coalition Nupes and the RN.
“The opposition will be tougher” against this “social breakage project” by Emmanuel Macron, warns RN spokesman Laurent Jacobelli, while the far right was rather conciliatory in July.
On the left, LFI has promised a "march against the high cost of living" at the start of the school year and will continue its strategy of conflictuality.
“The political situation is unstable,” said someone close to Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
“There are two solutions: either a stable coalition between Macron and LR, or in the end a return to the polls”, with a dissolution.
October will above all mark the start of the examination of the 2023 budget projects, of the State and of Social Security.
This first budgetary marathon of the five-year term constitutes a test of strength, for lack of an absolute majority for the macronists in the Assembly.
“The budget is risky, the opposition never votes for it,” warns a socialist executive.
The LRs who supported the government on the purchasing power package will not “vote it”, also thinks a minister, rather tempted to seek abstention from the right.
