09:42⇢Bayrou's Budget Under Fire
⌨French media continues to prioritize Prime Minister François Bayrou's 2026 budget plan, aimed at significant savings, with proposals such as modifying public holidays being "ideas at this stage" (Le Parisien). The plan still draws virulent reactions, especially regarding its impact on retirees (L'Obs, Les Echos, Le Monde, L'Express, Boulevard Voltaire, Libération, Mediapart). Separately, news reports the transfer of dangerous narco detainees to a high-security prison (20 Minutes, Le Figaro). International attention also falls on potential new U.S. weapon deliveries to Ukraine (Le Point, Valeurs Actuelles).
