In France, the financial state of the nation has become a hot topic as the country's budget deficit continues to grow.

The Finance Commission of the National Assembly has officially requested to investigate the causes behind the fiscal discrepancies observed in 2023 and 2024. This move comes amid accusations from opposition parties that President Emmanuel Macron's administration has mismanaged the national budget, leading to a financial drift.

Prime Minister Michel Barnier has expressed hope that a parliamentary inquiry will uncover the truth behind the budgetary issues.

Meanwhile, the Senate's Finance Commission plans to update its previous report on the degradation of public finances.

As the examination of the 2024 budget begins, the potential expansion of the Finance Commission's powers to investigate these matters marks a significant development in French politics.
