The French Senate approved the revenue portion of the 2025 budget on November 30, despite a boycott by leftist groups. Following intense debates over seven days, the senate majority supported the bill with a decisive 200 to 15 vote. The session was marked by protests from socialist, ecological, and communist parties, who expressed their frustration with the government’s late requests for additional votes on previously settled measures. Opposition leaders criticized the government for favoring right-wing alliances, signaling a turbulent week ahead for the administration’s financial policies.
