The budget conflict between the French executive and opposition parties intensifies as lawmakers review a special law to ensure state continuity. With no budget for 2025 adopted yet, amendments to index income tax to inflation were rejected. The Assembly President Yaël Braun-Pivet supported the ruling against these amendments, citing a recent Council of State opinion. The law allows the government to maintain existing tax collection and borrow on financial markets until a new budget is approved, as the Senate plans to discuss the matter further.
