Green light from deputies for the second part of measures in favor of purchasing power.
While they had come to an agreement with their counterparts in the Senate on Wednesday evening, the elected members of the National Assembly voted, without surprise, the rectified draft budget for 2022 and its new batch of measures to deal with inflation by 292 votes against 120. The vote benefited from the support of LR and the abstention of the RN.
The left, on the other hand, voted against, after a socialist rejection motion rejected by the Assembly.
Help for civil servants
The rectified draft budget for 2022, which was under discussion in a joint joint committee (7 deputies, 7 senators), opens up 44 billion euros in credits, including 9.7 to finance the 100% renationalization of EDF.
This return of the State to 100% in EDF was announced on July 6 by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, in her general policy speech.
Also scheduled are the revaluation of the index point for civil servants (a boost that will be effective on their salary sheet for the month of August), the continuation of the tariff shield on energy and the fuel discount of 30 cents the liter in September October then 10 in November December, among others.
