• Emmanuel Macron's dissolution of the Assembly in June 2024 has weakened the country.
• The Parliament adopted the special law to temporarily finance the state and administrations due to the lack of budget agreement.
• The effects of the special law have blocked certain investments and could cause 200,000 households to fall into income tax.
• Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and Budget Minister Amélie de Montchalin are striving to reach an agreement on the budget.
• The country's rising indebtedness and the lack of a path towards deficit reduction is concerning.

Conclusion: An urgent solution is needed to prevent stagnation and growing mistrust in the government, which fuels the political extremes.
