How to achieve 40 billion euros in savings in 2026 under the threat of censorship in the National Assembly? Failing to resolve the equation, François Bayrou began to present the terms after a “budget alert committee” this Tuesday, April 15, which brought together in Paris several members of his government as well as parliamentarians, representatives of social security organizations or even union. François Bayrou also gave a deadline: the “Great guidelines” and “Large choices” of the 2026 budget will be “Proposed” before July 14.
“We decided to go faster, take the lead, choose a much more ambitious and more demanding calendar,” he said at a press conference, recalling that it is usually “In September” What are revealed the major orientations of the upcoming budget. “This calendar, it will make it possible to bring together all the contributions, all the suggestions, all the consultations for a few weeks around the future and the choices that we will have to make”, he said.
Bogged in polls and often taxed with immobility after four months in Matignon, François Bayrou intends, by this meeting followed by a press conference, initiate the so -called method of «Corresponsibilité» With the French whom he often advocated before taking control of the government. A “Radically new method” consisting of “Build this budget on Tuesday”added the Minister of Economy, Eric Lombard, while the budgetary texts will be examined in the Parliament in early October. “There are hours of decisive truth and it is one”said the Béarnais at the start of his press conference. “Our conviction […] is that only an awareness of our fellow citizens, only the confrontation with open eyes with the truth of our situation, can support a determined action. Nothing would be possible without their support and support will only come from their full information ”then added the Prime Minister.
-According to the tenant of Matignon, France “Lack of means” To finance its policies because “That she does not produce enough and does not work enough”. “The policy of returning to production and reindustrialisation […] must become an obsession for our nation ”, then developed Bayrou. “If our production per capita was in the same range as that of our European neighbors, we would not have a budget deficit”he said again, also deploring “A lower employment rate” among young people and seniors.
In front of journalists, François Bayrou also explained that“Increase the samples” to rebalance public accounts is “Untenable”. “How to rebalance?” […] The first solution would be to think that if the state has no more money in its boxes, it is enough to increase the samples. It is a reasoning which seems simple but which is untenable because France is already the country which holds the rate of compulsory samples, taxes and taxes of any highest kind in the world in 2024 “, said the Prime Minister, judging that “If we choose to continue to increase these samples, it is our country which, in the end, would suffer”. Development worn out for many years in Macronie.
Update At 12:17 p.m. with the announcement of the deadline on July 14.
