In the ongoing 2026 French budget crisis, following the failed joint parliamentary committee in December 2025 and adoption of a temporary special law, representatives from major parliamentary groups—excluding La France insoumise (LFI) and Rassemblement national (RN)—will meet at Bercy on January 6. Led by Ministers Amélie de Montchalin and Roland Lescure, the session targets key blockages to enable a full budget by month's end.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance announced on January 5 that representatives from parliamentary groups, excluding RN and LFI, will gather at Bercy on Tuesday, January 6, at 5 p.m. This meeting, co-chaired by Public Accounts Minister Amélie de Montchalin and Economy Minister Roland Lescure, unites the groups to resolve main impasses from the joint parliamentary committee (CMP) failure on December 19, 2025.
That deadlock prompted Parliament to pass a special law late 2025 for state service continuity, as initial consultations by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu sought compromises. Lecornu has called for a deal by end-January, ahead of the bill's return to the National Assembly finance committee on January 8.
Agenda items include fiscal measures (income tax scale, holding tax, corporate tax surcharge, stamp duty, plastic tax) and expenditures (France 2030, activity bonus, overseas territories, agriculture, green fund, universities/research, local authorities, state staffing/payroll). Bercy seeks to align positions, forge compromises, end the special law regime, and relaunch public action with secure investments.
