APA reform: seniors worried about an increase in out-of-pocket costs

Common points

• =The 2027 budget is examined at the National Assembly in a context of blocking and after the rejection of several provisions.
• =The government plans to double urban speed cameras targeting approximately 2.2 billion euros in revenues.
• =The Assembly rejected by a vote of two the extension of the exceptional surtax on large companies, against the government's advice.
• =The recourse to 49.3 or ordinances is discussed as a possible way to pass the budget.

Divergences

• ≠The left highlights the social consequences of the budget and the role of the RN and employers in rejecting the surtax; the right presents this rejection as the removal of a fiscal measure against the government's advice, without emphasizing the RN.
• ≠The right highlights the 11 billion euros in additional charges denounced by employers and the worsening of the deficit by amendments; the left emphasizes more the cuts and concerns of associations and youth.
• ≠The center highlights urban speed cameras and their yield as well as Yaël Braun-Pivet's call to activate the 49.3; these aspects are less central in the articles of the left and right, which focus mainly on political dynamics and the deficit.
