✂️ Budget

The government has announced further significant budget cuts, notably impacting the ecology mission with a reduction of 500 million euros in credits and a freeze of another 783 million. These measures are part of a broader effort to prevent a substantial deficit in 2026 and include an aim to save 6 billion euros on pensions by 2027. In a separate development, a controversy has emerged around public broadcasting, as France Télévisions removed a replay of an episode of 'La Grande Librairie' featuring actress Adèle Haenel discussing the Gaza genocide. The removal is pending a review by the regulatory body Arcom. Meanwhile, the trial concerning the murder of former Argentine rugby player Federico Aramburú is unfolding, with court videos reconstructing the events of what investigators described as an "execution." French media are also closely following international developments, including the start of Celine Dion's concert series in Paris, which is generating significant global attention.
