The Sages were called on this Thursday to decide on the legal conformity of several arrangements, before the finance law was finally promulgated.
The Council does not validate the concept of "inseverity" of the budget, which had been raised in several referrals. "The Council has also rejected all the complaints concerning the sincerity of the finance law", says the communiqué published on Thursday.
The institution censored only eight minimal provisions of the finance bill, to exclude measures that should not have been included in it. It did not analyse in substance the provisions on taxation of rich people pointed to by Sébastien Lecornu.
The Sages validated this Thursday almost all of the state budget for 2026.
