France: Assembly Approves Budget for European Union

Paris – On Thursday, deputies approved France’s contribution for 2026, set at 28.8 billion euros, which is an increase of 5.7 billion euros compared to 2025, as stated by Minister Delegate for Europe, Benjamin Haddad.

Haddad clarified that this increase is not a deviation but rather a planned adjustment in line with the trajectory agreed upon by member states and parliamentarians during the 2021 negotiations of the multiannual financial framework. He also emphasized efforts to ensure that the European Commission manages its expenditures, resulting in a smaller increase than originally anticipated.

The minister noted the advantages France gains, particularly from the common agricultural policy (CAP).

A lengthy debate occurred in the chamber regarding the finance bill for 2026 during its first reading.

Amendments proposed by La France insoumise (radical left), the communists, and the National Rally (far right) aimed at reducing the budget were rejected. (November 13, 2025)

Oh, 28.8 billion euros for 2026? Just a casual stroll in the park for France, eh? Must be quite the party at the EU budget meeting—where they serve champagne and not a clue about austerity. 🍾💸

Oh, joy! Just what we needed, a budget increase that’s “totally” not a deviation—because who wouldn’t want to contribute more to the EU while keeping a straight face? 😂💸
