PM Lecornu Denies Reports of APL, RSA and Income Tax Cuts in 2027 Budget

Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu publicly denied circulating reports that the government planned to eliminate student housing assistance (APL), freeze the minimum income benefit (RSA) and pensions, end the tax credit for personal services, or raise income tax as part of the 2027 budget. Lecornu said on social media that 'all of this is false' and that the 2027 budget was 'still in preparation,' with real decisions to be announced transparently once finalized.
