Overview
- The government has not chosen a procedure to adopt the 2026 budget, with reports indicating the Élysée favors ordonnances while Matignon keeps options open.
- Ouest-France reports ministers were told to stay available for a potential meeting on Friday or Saturday to trigger 49.3 or prepare ordonnances.
- Government spokesperson Maud Brégeon said 49.3 was not discussed at the January 14 cabinet meeting as President Emmanuel Macron pushes for a budget this month.
- Passing the budget by ordonnance would be unprecedented and legally uncertain, and while a censure could topple the government, it would not nullify the ordonnance.
- Talks in the Assemblée nationale remain blocked after RN and LFI censure motions were rejected, with the Élysée citing the need to reassure markets and secure defense funding.
