CORE SUBJECT
Budget Failure in Parliament
A few hours after the failure of the joint committee (CMP) on the budget on Friday, December 19, confirming the impossibility of reaching an agreement on the budget in Parliament before the end of the year, the leaders of the Senate majority sharply criticized the government. "The responsibility for this failure rests entirely with the government," they stated, denouncing a deliberate strategy aimed at preventing an agreement. According to them, the government "meticulously organized the impossibility of an agreement" by refusing to make the necessary concessions. This situation thus blocks the adoption of the budget, which could lead to significant consequences for the management of public finances and the functioning of institutions. The senators of the majority call for a rapid resumption of negotiations to avoid a prolonged budgetary crisis.
