French National Assembly unanimously rejects budget bill

France's National Assembly has unanimously rejected the 2027 state budget bill, indicating challenges for Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu in achieving €43 billion in savings. Both the tax income and spending sections of the budget faced opposition, leading to a complete rejection. The draft budget will now proceed to the Senate for further debate starting November 20. This follows a previous rejection of another part of the budget concerning state pensions and healthcare, which will also be discussed in the Senate.
