财政部长罗兰·莱斯屈尔表示，他有信心法国能够通过明年的预算，理由是政府掌握宪法赋予的杠杆，以防议会无法就法案达成一致。
Finance Minister Roland Lescure said he was confident France would be able to pass a budget for next year, citing the constitutional levers the government holds should parliament be unable to agree on a bill.
莱斯屈尔周三在RTL电台表示：“我深信这一点，因为我们别无选择，且拥有让预算通过的工具，所以我确信我们会成功。我们有两道护栏：第49-3条和这条预算高速公路上的法令。如果我们偏离航向，就会启动护栏。”
“I’m convinced of this because we have no choice, and we have the tools to get it passed, so I’m convinced we’ll succeed,” Lescure said on RTL radio on Wednesday. “We have two guardrails: Article 49-3 and decrees on this budgetary highway. If we veer off course, we’ll activate the guardrails.”
法国国民议会一直在辩论明年的预算。政府法案包含430亿欧元（约合480亿美元）的措施，旨在削减赤字并安抚金融市场对该国公共财政的担忧。在严重分裂的议会中，达成妥协以允许法案通过投票似乎很困难，而随着总统大选仅剩六个月，这可能变得更难。
The French National Assembly has been debating next year’s budget. The government’s bill features €43 billion ($48 billion) in measures to bring down the deficit and appease financial-market worries about the country’s public finances. Reaching a compromise that would allow for the bills to pass via a vote appears difficult in a deeply divided parliament, and could prove even harder with a presidential election just six months away.
