"The budget will be rejected by Parliament," says Philippe Juvin, the general rapporteur of the finance bill, who calls for a resort to Article 49.3

"There will be a vote which will probably be negative. The budget will be refused by Parliament", estimates Sunday November 1 on franceinfo, Philippe Juvin, the general rapporteur of the budget while the vote on the first part devoted to revenue is scheduled for Tuesday in the National Assembly. As a reminder, in the event of rejection by the hemicycle of this first part, the discussions will stop and the text will go to the Senate.

“We will have to, in my opinion, go through a 49.3, I have been saying this since August,” insists Philippe Juvin. Also read Where are the debates on the PLF and the PLFSS 2027?

Follow the stages of the budget examination in the Assembly and the Senate The deputy Les Républicains des Hauts-de-Seine pleads for a reduction in spending of around 10% for this 2027 budget, a proposal which does not find much echo among parliamentarians. "It's probably encouraged by the fact that there is no majority in the National Assembly. The fact that an election is coming, people say that it will be resolved by the next government and all that makes the country look bad," he admits.

“We cannot reduce public spending. We need to raise awareness. Spend less, produce more.

"Philippe Juvin on franceinfoThe general budget rapporteur continues: "Most economists say that we need a plan to return to balanced accounts in five years. This is a mistake. We need to return to balance within two years so that people can have some blue skies.

Otherwise, the French have the impression of constantly making efforts without any results". Restoring purchasing power to the French Asked about the ongoing mobilization against the high cost of living, Philippe Juvin affirms that we must immediately restore purchasing power to the French "by reducing salary contributions, that is to say a direct increase on the pay slip". Such a decision would generate a shortfall for the State but could be compensated, according to him, by "a drop in purchases which represents 165 billion euros per year.

You have to make 10% fewer purchases. Instead of buying ten pens, you buy nine, that’s our leeway.”
