  "account": "The French government has designed its budget plans to be reversible, allowing a future administration to easily make changes after the presidential election. The budget proposals, presented by ministers David Amiel, Roland Lescure, Stéphanie Rist, and Jean-Pierre Farandou, include measures that can be quickly reversed, such as the freeze on certain pensions and benefits. The government is using this argument to try to convince opposition parties, including the Rassemblement national, to support the budget. However, some critics, including Eric Coquerel of La France Insoumise, argue that this approach does not go far enough and that a special law could have been used to give more flexibility.",
  "summary": "To make its finance bill acceptable, the government insists that part of its content will be modifiable \"from its first week\" by the next executive.",
