Impeachment proceedings have officially been opened against Emmanuel Macron - and it looks like they’ll pass the National Assembly’s political bureau next. After that, a debate in the commission on constitutional law. The Socialist Party says they’ll vote the resolution, backed by La France Insoumise, through the Assembly’s political bureau but that they don’t support the process, which is “doomed to fail.”

Michel Barnier has pushed back the date when the budget will be presented, along with his political agenda, to October 9th. It was supposed to happen on the 1st of the month. Meanwhile, the LFI president of the Finance Commission Eric Coquerel hasn’t received all the documents he needs yet from the Economy ministry.

And in the EU, Thierry Breton resigns from a role on the EU commission.
