Overview
- The plan lifts the prime d’activité by about €50 a month on average for more than three million low-income working households, pledges no new household tax hikes, reindexes income tax brackets to inflation, and drops the retirees’ abatement reform.
- Student support expands with €1 university meals for all from May, maintenance of grants, and 2,000 new posts in the National Education system.
- Housing measures include €400 million more for social landlords, retention of MaPrimeRénov’, and abandonment of a proposed APL “blank year.”
- Parliamentary debates were suspended after an impasse, and the government has yet to choose between Article 49.3 and budget ordinances to enact the text.
- Funding choices remain unsettled, with fresh calculations under way on a possible surtax on large companies and on local-authority contributions, as the Socialist Party hails “real” advances and other oppositions criticize the package.
