Rejet de la LFR : la commission des finances recadrée
In an article published by Les Échos, parliamentary expert Alioune Souaré contests the request made by the National Assembly's Finance Committee to withdraw the initial 2027 budget bill. He believes this request is based on a misinterpretation of budgetary rules.

He begins by pointing out that "the rejection of a supplementary budget law cannot prevent the examination of a budget." According to him, the two texts have different objectives and are not legally linked. He relies in particular on Article 5 of the Organic Law on Finance Laws (LOLF), which distinguishes the different categories of finance laws without establishing any relationship of dependence between them.

The expert also challenges the prerogatives of the Finance Committee. He points out that "it is not up to the Committee to decide on the inadmissibility of a bill, but rather to the Bureau of the National Assembly." He also notes an anomaly in the withdrawal procedure: since the draft budget was submitted by presidential decree, "one cannot write to the Minister of Finance to request its withdrawal."
Alioune Souaré also points out that the budget preparation is based on the Multiannual Budgetary and Economic Programming Document (DPBEP), in accordance with Article 51 of the LOLF, and not on the amending finance law.

While acknowledging the right of the deputies (Pastef, for the current legislature) to control the budgetary choices of the government (of Al Aminou Lô, current Prime Minister), the former deputy believes that the rejection of the 2026 Finance Law cannot justify the withdrawal of the 2027 budget, because these two procedures must be examined separately.
