2027 Budget: Mayors Mobilize and Uncertainty in Parliament
On November 6, 2026, school heads warn of a decrease in credits for overtime hours, while the city of Givet expresses its opposition to the 2027 budget bill and Karim Bouamrane calls on deputies to reach an agreement. On November 7, the National Assembly adopts a raise in the ceiling for tax-exempt family gifts to 100,000 euros. On November 8 and 9, mayors denounce the decrease in allocations to local authorities and several municipalities go into mourning, as the Senate takes the initiative on the budget and the general rapporteur doubts the implementation of announced measures. On November 9, the government announces a decree on public aid to works councils (CSE) and the vote on an increase in the mileage allowance is recalled, while a partial freeze on pensions is envisaged. On November 10, the Senate's social affairs committee removes the planned pension reduction for large families.
