Budget 2027: discussions continue in a sparsely populated chamber, where deputies vote on amendments with uncertain outcomes

Discussions on the 2027 budget are ongoing in the National Assembly, with a focus on overseas territories and economic policies. Amendments to improve access to social housing and audiovisual content were adopted, while criticisms of the government's economic strategy intensified following disappointing GDP growth figures. The left-wing deputies pushed for state participation in companies like ArcelorMittal, despite government opposition. The debates are expected to continue throughout the week, culminating in a vote on the revenue aspect of the budget on November 3.
