Budget 2027: deputies vote for 28 billion euros in additional spending
DECRYPTION - In the Finance Committee, the parliamentarians, generous with the envelope dedicated to ecology, refuse savings and widen the deficit without counting.
Why deprive yourself? France has a staggering deficit, the country's borrowing rates are soaring, the debt continues its crazy course... One might believe that the budgetary discussion is the right time to talk about savings. We would be wrong.
MEPs in the Finance Committee have already voted for more than 28 billion euros in additional spending next year. Worse still, this count, carried out by the office of the general budget rapporteur at the National Assembly, Philippe Juvin, was done before the examination of the expenditure part of the finance bill (PLF) was completed. For comparison, the total annual envelope of the Ministry of Justice does not exceed 11 billion euros.
In detail, the deputies were particularly generous with the envelope dedicated to ecology, adding more than 11.7 billion euros.
