The French National Assembly unanimously rejected the proposed budget law for 2027, indicating challenges for Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu in implementing budget cuts. President Emmanuel Macron's coalition faced opposition from 458 parliamentarians 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 pass the budget by year-end, marking the third rejection of a budget proposal. The executive may consider constitutional measures to bypass parliamentary control, risking a vote of no confidence.
