The result gives Sébastien Lecornu, France’s prime minister, a reprieve after weeks of political turmoil. But he still has to get a budget passed by the end of the year.
Sébastien Lecornu said the government was ready for “a new debate” on the issue, a major concession as he faces no-confidence votes that threaten to topple his government again this week.
President Emmanuel Macron of France is facing some of the country’s worst political turmoil in decades. A new government has been appointed, but how long it will last is anyone’s guess.
