The Joint Management Council called an emergency session at the National Assembly after the cabinet formally asked lawmakers to dump the 2026 state budget proposal, along with health insurance and social insurance spending plans. Parliament has to vote on pulling the bill since it already cleared first reading in the main chamber, and the smaller budget pieces made it through committee at second reading.
Government rules say whoever submits legislation can yank it before the initial vote starts, but after that point, only a full parliamentary decision works. The cabinet plans to launch a completely new budget process once deputies officially kill the current version.
