French Prime Minister Survives No-Confidence Votes
Reading
Sébastien Lecornu is the Prime Minister of France. He had two votes of no-confidence against him on Thursday. His government is new and these votes could have made problems.
The votes failed, so Lecornu can keep working. He must now get a budget for 2026 approved. This budget is for France and it must go through Parliament.
If Lecornu lost, there would be elections. President Macron could have called new elections. Macron did this in 2024, but it is a risky thing to do.
Lecornu is a friend of President Macron. The no-confidence motions were from other parties. These parties are against Macron and his government plans.
The first vote failed by 18 votes. The second vote had even less support. Now, Lecornu must work hard to get the budget approved soon.
