Venezuela: the fourth round of talks between the government and the 2015 National Assembly delegation is due between 11 and 15 November; an opposition delegate told [El Pitazo](https://elpitazo.net/politica/se-viene-el-cuarto-ciclo-de-la-mesa-de-dialogo-en-que-contexto-se-da/?ref=sovereigncreditorreview.com) the exact date was still awaiting confirmation. 3.

Top story: Senegal committee rejects three more ministry budgets The Assembly's finance and budget control committee kept voting down 2027 ministry budgets on Monday 9 November. Sitting with the health committee, it rejected the budget of the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene, presented by Minister Ibrahima Sy, with 2027 appropriations of FCFA 246.6bn against FCFA 217.2bn in the 2026 initial finance law. According to the Assembly's account, members raised "inconsistencies" in the figures and questioned the sincerity and reliability of the forecasts under article 30 of the organic budget law (LOLF) ([Seneweb](https://www.seneweb.com/fr/news/Politique/assemblee-nationale-le-projet-de-budget-du-ministere-de-la-sante-rejete-commission%5Fn%5F999003112.html?ref=sovereigncreditorreview.com); [Direct News Info](https://directnewsinfo.com/2026/11/09/assemblee-nationale-le-projet-de-budget-2027-du-ministere-de-la-sante-rejete-par-la-commission-des-finances/?ref=sovereigncreditorreview.com)). The same day the committee rejected the budget of the Ministry of Family, Social Action and Solidarity (FCFA 230.6bn in payment appropriations). [SeneActu](https://seneactu.com/budget-2027-la-commission-des-finances-rejette-le-projet-du-ministere-de-la-famille/?ref=sovereigncreditorreview.com) reported that members questioned the sincerity of the forecasts and their consistency with the revised 2026 budget the Assembly rejected on 3 November. Sitting with the culture committee, it also rejected by majority the budget of the Ministry of Culture, Crafts and Tourism (FCFA 28.6bn in payment appropriations), [PressAfrik](https://www.pressafrik.com/Assemblee-nationale-rejet-du-projet-de-budget-2027-du-ministere-de-la-Culture-de-l-Artisanat-et-du-Tourisme%5Fa314341.html?ref=sovereigncreditorreview.com) reported. Those three join the committee's earlier votes against the bill's first part (revenue, public debt and institutions' budgets) on 7 November and the Industry and Commerce and Higher Education budgets on 7 and 8 November. [Agence Ecofin](https://www.agenceecofin.com/actualites-finance/0911-143238-senegal-la-bataille-du-budget-2027-fait-planer-une-incertitude-sur-les-paiements-aux-entreprises?ref=sovereigncreditorreview.com) noted that the bill provides for FCFA 480bn of private-sector arrears to be cleared in 2027 and a deficit target of 4.7% of GDP, and that committee votes are not in themselves a final rejection of the finance law. [SeneNews](https://www.senenews.com/actualites/le-rejet-de-la-lfi-2027-en-commission-ouvre-finalement-la-porte-a-la-dissolution-de-lassemblee%5F605706.html?ref=sovereigncreditorreview.com) again counts the 60-day examination period under article 68 of the constitution as running to 11 December.
