On December 23, local time, the French National Assembly passed a special bill to temporarily extend the 2025 budget until January next year to maintain the operation of government funds. The 496 members of parliament present at the vote unanimously approved the text. The special bill still needs to be passed by the Senate later in the day before it can fully take effect. Since the French parliament failed to reach an agreement on the 2026 national budget, the French government introduced this special bill earlier to maintain the operation of the country's finances when the official budget has not yet been passed.
