Budget 2027: tense debates in the Assembly over the Finance Bill and Social Security Financing Bill

On October 26, 2026, debates in the National Assembly on the financing of autonomy and a transfer of social contribution (CSG) to local departments provoked an outcry, while socialist MPs openly opposed the budget and rapporteur general Philippe Juvin called for reducing the deficit. The government defended its proposal, notably via Minister of Public Accounts David Amiel, and planned to double urban speed cameras to generate 2.2 billion euros in revenue. However, measures adopted by parliamentarians would widen the deficit by several billion euros, and the Assembly resumed examining the finance bill on October 27 with little momentum. The rejection of the transfer of 300 million euros from the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA) to departments leaves the dependency care question without funding, while employers' organizations denounce 11 billion euros in additional charges in the social security financing bill, and retirees and associations express their concerns.

Centre

Right

Highlights employers' organizations denouncing additional charges, tax revenues falling short of expectations, parliamentary amendments that would worsen the deficit, and the executive's hesitation between Article 49.3 and ordinances. Also relays David Amiel's rhetoric and the outcry over the CSG transfer.
