French Government Survives No-Confidence Votes in Parliament
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu retains majority support amid budget controversy.
France’s government has narrowly survived two no-confidence votes in Parliament, allowing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to remain in office after fierce opposition to his proposed budget reforms.
The motions were brought by rival parties accusing the administration of mismanaging fiscal policy and ignoring public concerns.
While the votes preserve government stability for now, political analysts warn that President Emmanuel Macron’s coalition still faces deep divisions as it prepares for renewed debates over spending and taxation.
