“
I see with great concern multiplying for a few days, a few hours, only spendthrift amendments on the purchasing power text.
We are now at 100 billion euros

“
One hundred billion euros of new spending.
No savings.
One hundred billion euros of expenditure for the State.
No recipe in front or derisory recipes.
It is a financial madness,
” castigated the minister.

We have to come to our senses.
I say this to all my parliamentary friends (…) and I call on all the oppositions to show responsibility, in particular those who call themselves parties of government

We cannot say on the one hand that we absolutely want to reduce the public debt, that we must reduce public spending, (...) and then, on the other hand, table amendments on the same day for a reduction in CSG at 70 billion euros, for fuel capped at 1.5 euros per liter for tens of billions of euros.
A little consistency
