Budget 2027: Contested review of the finance bill at the National Assembly

On October 26, 2026, while the budget vote was deadlocked, Public Accounts Minister David Amiel defended his draft using a generational war rhetoric, denounced as a 'stab in the back against youth'; the government also planned to double urban radars to generate 2.2 billion euros in revenue. MPs then adopted measures that would deepen the deficit by several billion euros, weakening the budget draft. On October 27, the Assembly resumed examining the finance bill, eclipsed by high school student mobilizations, while debates focused notably on dependency, retirees, employer contributions, and emergency housing. By a margin of two votes, MPs removed the one-year extension of the exceptional surtax on large corporate profits, against the government's wishes. On October 28, the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, urged Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to invoke Article 49.3 'in the coming days' to get the 2027 budget passed.
