The National Assembly is set to begin reviewing the state budget on October 13. According to the Ministry of Relations with Parliament, the budget must first be submitted to the Council of Ministers by October 1. Alongside this, a debate on public debt is scheduled for October 13, and another on local finances is planned for October 19, following the timeline set by the organic law on financial laws (Lolf). These discussions are part of the legislative process for managing the country's finances and ensuring transparency in public spending. The government shared its plans for the parliamentary calendar during a meeting of National Assembly presidents, which took place for the first time since Parliament recessed in July. This meeting outlined a provisional agenda for the lower house, which will reconvene on October 1 for a short session expected to last until the end of February, due to the upcoming presidential election. During this time, the Assembly will focus on reviewing various legislative proposals. A special session known as a "niche" of the National Rally, a political party in France, is scheduled for October 8. During this time, deputies will begin examining a comprehensive bill aimed at addressing sexist and sexual violence. The review of this bill is expected to conclude by October 6 or 7, followed by a formal vote on October 13. Additionally, the government plans to start discussing a bill on the resilience of critical infrastructure to cybersecurity threats on October 7. This legislation aims to implement the European Union's NIS 2 directive, which strengthens cybersecurity measures across member states. The discussions on the cybersecurity bill were anticipated after several high-profile data breaches in France, including one that affected the tax office this summer. These debates, however, may be interrupted by the National Rally's session on October 8. Discussions are expected to continue on October 9, but it remains uncertain whether they will be completed. On October 12, the Assembly will focus on several other bills, including one related to the operation of meal vouchers, which are used to support employees' food expenses.
