Lecornu Drops 49.3 for 2026 Budget, Puts Passage in Parliament’s Hands

His survival now hinges on a weekend cabinet rollout followed by a policy speech early next week.

Overview

  • La France insoumise says it will file a motion of censure as soon as the government is appointed, refusing to treat the pledge as sufficient.
  • The Socialist Party hails a change of method yet demands concrete guarantees, including a new vote on the 2023 pension reform.
  • Marine Le Pen calls the move more respectful of democracy but will decide on support or censure after the policy declaration.
  • During consultations, Sébastien Lecornu offered a purchasing‑power measure and a tax on financial wealth that would spare business assets.
  • TF1-LCI reports the cabinet will be unveiled before the end of the weekend with the policy speech set for Tuesday at 3 p.m., while other constitutional levers and the Senate leave the budget’s outcome uncertain.
