Budget 2027: Debates at the National Assembly and Concerns of Local Authorities

On 27 October 2026, the National Assembly removed, by a narrow margin, the one-year extension of the exceptional surtax on the profits of large companies planned in the 2027 Finance Bill, against the government's position. The next day, the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet, called on Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to use the 49.3 procedure, which he refused during the day, while the left failed to get its proposals for taxing the wealthiest and large groups adopted. Meanwhile, the budget debates raised many concerns: associations fighting against poverty, mayors of Breil-sur-Roya, Drôme and Ardèche, department presidents, seniors concerned by the APA reform and actors in thermal cures called out the consequences of the planned savings. The government for its part presented a “Pacte Genevard” added to the 2027 budget bill to facilitate the transmission of agricultural holdings.

Angle comparison for the whole story

The three sides cover the same rejection of the surtax on large companies and the debate on the 49.3, but the left insists on the loss of revenue and social consequences, the center on the concrete effects for local authorities and users, the right on the failure of the left's tax proposals and the deterioration of the deficit.

Left

Highlights the €5 billion in lost revenue due to the rejection of the surtax, attributes this vote to the RN “at the boot of the employers”, and stresses the concerns of associations fighting against poverty, of thermal cure patients and the “incoherent” nature of the budget; presents the 49.3 and the ordinances as ways to bypass Parliament.

Centre

Focuses attention on practical consequences: concerns of mayors and department presidents, APA reform of the benefit scale for seniors, opposition of senators to the transfer of thermal cures, increase in urban speed cameras and agricultural “Pacte Genevard”; reports Yaël Braun-Pivet's call to Sébastien Lecornu to use the 49.3 and Sébastien Lecornu's refusal.

Right

Presents the rejection of the surtax and the failure of the proposals to tax the wealthiest as a defeat of the left's “fiscal madness”, highlights the aggravation of the deficit and the additional charges denounced by employer organizations, and sees in the 49.3 a “suitable” solution in the face of the deadlock.
