The National Assembly on Wednesday, November 4, rejected at first reading the revenue section of the 2027 finance bill.
All lawmakers, including those from the Macronist groups, voted against the text.
It is the first time such a scenario has occurred under the Fifth Republic.
It is more baroque for a government's supporters to reject a text presented by that government.
On the Macronist side, the vote is explained as a matter of parliamentary culture.
The 2027 finance bill will now be discussed in the Senate.
Other elements of the file mention different counts (404 votes against and 84 abstentions, or a single vote in favor), without resolving the ambiguity.
The vote yielded 458 votes against, no votes in favor and no abstentions, according to the reported count.
