The Minister of Budget, Laurent Saint-Martin, announced this Sunday, October 27 on Radio J that debates on the draft budget for 2025 will resume from November 5 in the National Assembly.
“We will continue where we left off yesterday, starting November 5,” said the minister, as deputies interrupted their debates on Saturday afternoon without having finished examining the bill, after six days of heated exchanges over the part of revenue from the 2025 budget.
Next week the deputies will mobilize on the Social Security budget.

“It should be noted that all these measures only weigh on our richest fellow citizens and on large companies,” he stated.
