Controversy Over Fiscal Amendments in France’s Special Law
The French National Assembly faces debates over a special law aimed at maintaining public services without an approved budget for 2025. Key political figures, including Jean-Philippe Tanguy of the National Rally and Eric Coquerel from La France insoumise, discuss the possibility of amending the law to index income tax thresholds to inflation. However, the Council of State argues that such amendments exceed the law’s authorization scope. Legal experts highlight the ambiguity surrounding the interpretation of the law, with the Constitutional Council ultimately responsible for deciding the fate of potential amendments.
