Overview
- Deputies vote Tuesday on the full PLFSS after approving the revenue section, with the outcome described as highly uncertain and likely to hinge on a handful of votes.
- Government partners are split, with Horizons signaling refusal “as is” and Les Républicains divided, while the RN vows full attendance to vote the text down.
- The executive rules out using article 49.3 and its spokesperson says a resignation by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu “would not make sense,” as RN’s Jean‑Philippe Tanguy presses for it in case of defeat.
- In last-minute bargaining, ministers flagged a possible amendment lifting the health spending target (Ondam) to around 3% to court the Greens, who say such a move would weigh on their decision.
- Labor Minister Jean‑Pierre Farandou warns that failure would scrap the pension-reform suspension and risk political, economic and social turmoil, as officials cite a jump in the social deficit from roughly €23 billion to about €30 billion.
