Overview
- - The Sénat approved the government’s fraud bill by 239 to 32 and sent it to the Assemblée nationale, expanding detection and sanction powers across social and fiscal fraud.
- - The executive touts more than €2 billion in 2026 recoveries from the antifraud plan, which includes broader information‑sharing and new investigatory tools such as enhanced checks via France Travail.
- - Senators open a week‑long examination of the Sécurité sociale budget after their social affairs commission adopted 135 amendments that scrap the pension‑reform suspension, restore partial freezes on pensions and benefits, and claim to cut the 2026 deficit from €24 billion to €15.1 billion.
- - The Senate majority signals it will also roll back Assembly‑voted tax measures, including a higher CSG on capital, reaffirming support for the retirement age reform and a tighter deficit path.
- - At the Assemblée, the government’s own parliamentary groups say they will not back the revenue package, with roughly 1,300 amendments still pending and officials warning the state budget may slip to a special rollover law or ordonnances in the coming weeks.
