When did the French National Assembly begin examining the 2025 budget?: The French National Assembly is reviewing the 2025 budget, starting with the social security budget on October 28th. The examination of the state budget's revenue section was postponed due to numerous amendments, resuming on November 5th.
What is the consequence if the revenue section of the state budget is not adopted?: The government lacks a majority in the Assembly, leading to many modifications in the 2025 state budget. If the revenue section isn't adopted, the entire budget will go to the Senate without debate on expenses.
