2027 Budget: Wauquiez Rules Out No-Confidence Vote but Refuses to 'Drain Retirees' Savings'
The leader of the Les Républicains parliamentary group is also calling for an additional €20 billion in savings on top of the government's already proposed effort.

Laurent Wauquiez, leader of the Les Républicains parliamentary group, has stated that his party would not engage in "the petty game of a no-confidence vote" in the context of the 2027 budget discussions, while also refusing to "drain retirees' savings," according to an article in Le Monde.
The politician is also pushing for €20 billion in additional savings beyond the budgetary effort already proposed by the government, the article notes.
This position comes as debates on the 2027 budget continue, with persistent tensions over the trade-off between budget cuts and protecting the purchasing power of certain segments of the population, particularly retirees.
The article does not detail the specific measures Les Républicains are considering to achieve this level of additional savings, nor the timeline for the next steps in the budget discussions.
