Ruffin criticizes 2027 budget

Francois Ruffin, a presidential candidate and deputy from Somme, criticized the 2027 budget proposed by the government during an appearance on BFMTV-RMC on Friday, October 30. He described the budget as "a provocative budget" and called on the government to revise it, at least in a cosmetic manner, to eliminate what he called provocations.

Ruffin targets former presidents

Ruffin specifically criticized provisions in the budget that he claimed benefit former presidents. He stated that "given his record, there should not be a single coin for Macron upon his exit from the Elysee," referring to the presidential palace.

Ruffin calls for revisions

The deputy from Somme argued that the government should make changes to the budget to address what he views as inappropriate allocations. He suggested that at least some modifications should be made to remove what he described as provocations.
