Prime Minister François Bayrou's plan includes raised taxes and avoids spending cuts, yet it lacks a clear direction for long-term financial stability.
Despite reducing the deficit by 0.6% of GDP, equivalent to €18 billion, the budget is seen as a temporary fix rather than a structural solution. Ongoing efforts will be necessary to meet European commitments by 2029.
