French ministers Éric Lombard and Amélie de Montchalin have invited the Socialist Party, Communist Party, and Ecologists to discussions at Bercy regarding the preparation of the 2025 budget. The meetings are set to take place next week, following a tumultuous period for the previous government under Michel Barnier that saw challenges in budget legislation. Key political figures, including Olivier Faure from the Socialist Party and Fabien Roussel from the Communist Party, are expected to attend.
