Michel Barnier's 2025 budget, including €60bn savings through spending cuts and new business/high earners taxes, faces criticism for left-wing disguise and potential no-confidence challenges.
Michel Barnier, leader of France's conservative-centrist coalition, is under scrutiny for his proposed 2025 budget, which includes €60 billion in savings through €40 billion in spending cuts and €20 billion in new taxes on businesses and high earners.
Critics claim these measures disguise left-wing tax hikes as austerity.
The budget aims to reduce the deficit to about 5% of GDP, exceeding the eurozone's 3% limit, and faces potential no-confidence challenges.
