She is disappointed. The general secretary of the CGT, Sophie Binet, criticized on Tuesday a budget project for 2026 in which “nothing goes”, denouncing a “major problem of health costs” and a “very bitter potion” for retirees.
“For hospitals and nursing homes, it is going to be a disaster because a 1.6% increase in Ondam (national health insurance spending target) really means a minimum reduction of 2% because we know that needs increase much more,” he noted, estimating that “the closure of beds will continue.”
While the government wants to introduce a tax on capital companies, while reducing the amount of a production tax, the CVAE (Contribution on the added value of companies), the union leader considers that the members of the government “return with one hand what they took with the other.”
“It’s François Bayrou’s budget with just eliminating two fewer holidays,” summarizes Sophie Binet.
