The legislative path of the draft budget 2027, which is expected to be very difficult for the government, opened on Wednesday, 7 October, with representatives of almost all political groups rejecting this measure, which would penalise the purchasing power of pensioners.
The lowering of the ceiling for pensioners to benefit from a 10% tax reduction was (symbolically) abolished in the Finance Committee.
