While they hoped to impose with the presentation of a "debt commitment" supposed to erase the deficit in four years, Thierry Breton, Minister of economy and finance, and Jean-François Copé, Minister delegate for the Budget, were subjected to a fire rolling of criticism on the results of the majority of public finances, but theme of choice for the right. Instead of discussing the future, it is mainly of balance which was, prior to the time.
Good words Festival
For at the outset, the elected representatives of left have multiplied the ridicule and sarcasm of a Government they consider openly at the end of race. Typically more arid, the "dob" has been a festival of good words. "One would think to hear Raymond Domenech," attack, for example, Socialist Deputy Jean-Marie Le Guen when Thierry Breton prides itself on the "return of growth". The Minister of economy who said he "released the France on the rails", Communist Jean-Pierre Brard reply: "You get off at the next station." And when the round deJean-François Copé, who is also Mayor of this sub-prefecture of Seine-et-Marne, same Jean-Pierre Brard loose: "Ah, L'Aiglon Meaux!", referring, diminutive, with the nickname of Bossuet. False charitable, the UMP Philippe Auberger believes then having observed: "we are going, this is not a funeral oration.
It is, however, that the opposition had endeavoured to look like the last budgetary policy of the legislature debate. Main speaker of the Socialist Group, Didier Migaud fabiusien, who was rapporteur for the Budget under the previous Assembly, challenged the recovery of public finances, providing that "public debt exploded in addition 10 points of GDP in just four years of management by the current majority". In reality, public debt rose from 58.2 of GDP end 2002 to 62.4 end 2003 and then to 66.6 end of 2005. On the matter, the confrontation of the balance sheets is running not necessarily to the benefit of the period Jospin since, if the deficit and debt are much improved between 1997 and 2001, the situation has deteriorated markedly in 2002.
"Pretexting."
In the criticism of the Government's action, the UDF was not left. Spokesman for the centrist Group on these issues, Charles de Courson delivered an indictment without concession. According to him, the cap of the evolution of expenditure from the general budget to 0.8 in 2007 is a "pretexting" since "should add" several elements in strong growth: tax expenditures, increased from EUR 51.6 billion in 2004 to 61 billion euros planned for 2007, funds competition, refunds and rebates, increased from EUR 9.4 billion in 2004 and 12.8 billion in 2006the levies on revenues, allocations to public institutions. In the end, Charles de Courson j. "lax right management." Between 2002 and 2005, observed, public spending increased by 134 billion EUR, or 65 of the additional national wealth. The Minister of the Budget has responded to the elected centrist on a much more technical way political, especially considering that tax expenditures, by virtue of their "evaluative character", were not to be equated with budgetary expenditure. With the Socialists, by contrast, Jean-François Copé is placed in a controversial field, detailing his way the cost of the project of the PS, it amounts to EUR 115 billion.
