The French Socialist Party (PS) has unveiled a proposed budget for 2027 that includes a range of economic and social policies. Among the key elements are the reintroduction of the Zucman tax, which targets high-income earners, a rise in the minimum wage, and new taxes on large inheritances and digital companies. The proposals were presented during parliamentary discussions, but the press conference was affected by the absence of Boris Vallaud, the leader of the PS in the National Assembly. Vallaud was unable to attend due to a meeting with his group regarding Philippe Brun, a former PS candidate who was excluded from the party’s primary and temporarily suspended after allegations of violence were raised. In his place, deputies Estelle Mercier and Sandrine Runel took on the role of managing the aftermath of the proposal. The government has not yet revealed its own budget plan, but Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is expected to present his version in the Council of Ministers on October 1. His goal is to identify 30 billion euros in savings, despite the challenging political climate. The PS’s budget plan includes 39.5 billion euros in new revenues, 22 billion euros in new expenses, and 17.5 billion euros in savings. The socialist proposals include increasing the minimum wage to 1,700 euros net per month and introducing a progressive general social contribution (CSG), a tax on income and wealth. They also plan to double the budget of the Civil Security to one billion euros, establish a 5 billion euro fund dedicated to climate change, and expand the green fund to 1.5 billion euros. In response to the issue of sexual and gender-based violence, the PS aims to allocate 3 billion euros, which is double the 1.5 billion euros mentioned by Lecornu in a recent opinion article. The PS also proposes a tax on digital giants and on very high inheritances, each expected to generate 10 billion euros. Additionally, the party aims to achieve 12.1 billion euros in savings by reforming existing tax loopholes and improving efforts to combat tax fraud. These measures are part of the PS’s broader strategy to address economic inequality and invest in social and environmental policies.
