Budget 2025: the government facing a hostile Assembly
The finance bill will begin to be examined by the Assembly on Monday October 21. The government will have to face strong hostility from the chamber to its budget, which the finance committee has already amended.
To say that Michel Barnier will not arrive on conquered ground at the Assembly on Monday October 21 is an understatement. Its finance law and its already revised version each collect sweet words: “unbearable text“, “tax butchery“, “bludgeoning“, “unacceptable“, “irresponsible“, “Lépine tax competition“, we could hear. A storm is brewing for the examination of the budget.
The Finance Committee, the first body to study the text, is generally quite calm. But this week, under the leadership of the rebellious Éric Coquerel, who is president, the government’s copy came out in small pieces. Articles have been deleted and amendments added. “It is still not possible to divert a budget to this extent“, deplores a ministerial advisor, while a Socialist Party official believes that the Macronists are the only ones responsible for their failure.
