Budget 2027: Facing the deadlock in debates, Sébastien Lecornu explores the path of ordinances

The Prime Minister has adopted a hands-off approach, allowing Parliament to take the lead, which has confused many observers. Critics, including budget rapporteur Jean-François Husson, express concern over the government's lack of direction and engagement with lawmakers. The recent rejection of a proposed tax on large companies by members of the ruling party highlights the disarray in the budget process. Legal experts note a significant absence of dialogue between the government and parliamentarians, suggesting a sense of resignation from the administration.
