Eurovarorif: Can the French prime minister call the referendum on the budget?

He The French Prime MinisterOvarian BaroFrance has raised the idea of ​​celebrating the budget by 2026 to reduce the country’s general shortage. Baru has announced An interview Al ‘Journal to Dimanjay’ That The intensity of the situation This requires the obvious approval of the French.

“I think the question of raising it directly with the future of the country is enough,” he said. “I did not reject any chance,” Baru said that his proposal was “a comprehensive plan” and it will require everyone’s efforts, considering its size, If the French people do not support it it cannot succeed“He said more.

The French government hopes to cut its budget to 40,000 million by 2026By reducing public spending instead of introducing new taxes. By this he hopes to cut French general deficit less than 3%In GDP in GDPIn accordance with the European Fund regulations.

Opposition parties have already threatened to present Auditory motion In the recent years, the subsequent prime ministers have faced severe rejection reactions and anger for their own budgets against the bargaining government for next year’s possible budget plans.

Politicians across the spectrum They have been expressed Rejection Intelligent Bargain poll. The right -wing party Less Rebuticinsin’s Laurent Wagez accused the prime minister of “delaying things”, while the Left Party’s Deputy Deputy Erik Gogwell described the project as “technical absurd and politically questionable idea.”

To what extent does the referendum on France’s funding?

Section 11 French constitution That says that Can only call the vote by the president In the laws relating to economics, social policy and public services, as the government or two rooms of Parliament recommend.

So, technically, this is not something that the Prime Minister can do for himself. As declared as ‘Journal to Damage’, “the government proposes, the president decides” but the main issue is that “the main issue is that” the French support the reforms “and” technology is a matter of great importance, “which is not only for every citizen but also for every citizen. “.

A source is close to President Emmanuel Macron I would have told it to the France-Bruce (AFP) Agency You can’t decide about the call Vote until there is a complete plan on the desk. “The Prime Minister refers to the reforms and savings plan, and it is difficult to say anything until this project is done,” the source said.

However, Macron plans to appear on ‘TF1’ on May 13, and French media is speculating Announcement Consult. The French president has already suggested that he would call the referendum this year during his traditional New Year’s Eve on December 31, in which he said he would ask citizens to express their opinion on “decisive” issues.

L Plan D Baru This will become the first best vote of France since 2005When the French voted against the recognition of the European Constitution. However, the Section 47 of the Constitution Further establishing further The process of approval of the French Budget.

In particular, it installs it Both the National Legislative Assembly and the Senate should vote for the project The financial law is usually 70 days within a strict period. If this period is not fulfilled, the government may force the budget approval of the budget using controversial powers of section 49.3.

Baru used these powers in February 2025 BudgetIt wants to Reduce the general deficit to 5.4% This year, Crosses two audit movements In the process. Your predecessor, Michael BornierIn December, its cost reduction appealed to Article 49.3 to avoid parliament when it was attempting to recognize the budget, although it was not as luck as Baru Your government He was thrown away.

Since the budget is engraved with the procedure constitution, something Attempt to celebrate the referendum Would probably face about it Legal challenges.
