The French budget bill for 2025 is poised for a critical vote in the National Assembly, with significant alterations made by deputies that diverge from the government’s initial proposal. Key amendments include increased revenue forecasts and removed tax measures, leading to a revised deficit estimate of €85 billion. The government may turn to the Senate for favorable support if the Assembly rejects the bill. The far-right Rassemblement National’s voting stance remains uncertain, and divisions within the ruling coalition raise questions about potential adoption. The debate continues amid calls for a focus on spending oversight.
