Budget 2027: taxes voted in the National Assembly and possible use of Article 49.3

On October 30, 2026, MPs adopt several left-wing amendments taxing large companies, tightening the exit tax and creating taxes on digital giants and superdividends, against the government's advice. The debates result in nearly 49 billion euros in additional spending, while INSEE announces a 0.1% decline in GDP in the third quarter and economists consider growth forecasts lacking credibility. Other provisions draw criticism, notably the removal of funding for state-contracted private education in committee, Article 34 of the PLFSS on military pensions and the reduction of credits for the ecological transition. In early November, social unrest could revive the budget issue; Philippe Juvin predicts parliamentary rejection of the budget and advocates recourse to Article 49.3, while Emmanuel Grégoire believes the government should adopt the budget by ordinances.

Angle comparison for the whole story

All three sides cover the same 2027 budget but emphasize different aspects: the left on social, ecological and cultural cuts, the center on sectoral measures and political statements, the right on additional spending, private schools and the state of the economy.

Left

Highlights the austerity endured by public services (health, local authorities, culture, ecological transition) and denounces a budget favorable to the wealthy; also stresses the lack of credibility of growth forecasts and the votes by the right and the RN against the surtaxes.

Centre

Focuses on specific measures and statements: delisting of spa treatments, cuts to private education, taxes voted, and positions on Article 49.3 or ordinances; downplays the scope of adopted amendments.

Right

Stresses the 48.8 billion euros in additional spending voted instead of the announced savings, the cuts targeting state-contracted private education, Article 34 of the PLFSS affecting the military, and the economy described as "at a standstill" justifying a turnaround.
