The French Parliament unanimously rejected the proposed budget law for 2027, indicating challenges for Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu in implementing significant budget cuts. President Emmanuel Macron's coalition faced opposition from 458 lawmakers against the initial revenue proposals. The budget will now be debated in the Senate on November 20. Lecornu aims to reduce the budget deficit to 5% by next year, but amendments could increase it to 5.9%. With presidential elections approaching in April 2027, the government seeks to finalize the budget by year-end. This marks the third budget proposal rejected by the legislature, and the government may consider using constitutional provisions to bypass parliamentary control.
