Overview
- More than 1,500 amendments remain on the revenue section, forcing the planned Monday vote to be postponed.
- With time nearly exhausted, the National Assembly is now unlikely to examine the spending section in first reading.
- Constitutional rules require the bill to leave the lower house by 23 November at midnight for a Senate review limited to 15 days.
- Opposition figures, including RN deputy Jean‑Philippe Tanguy, accuse the executive of seeking ordinances, a charge officials deny as the prime minister is reported to have ruled out using article 49.3.
- Legal analysts outline fallback routes that include dessaisissement to the Senate, a temporary reconduction law, or ultimately enacting the budget by ordinance to ensure continuity on 1 January.
