French PM Lecornu must pass a 2026 budget by Sept. 24 amid divided parliament and no majority.
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, appointed in September 2025, faces a fragile political landscape with no parliamentary majority and a tight deadline to deliver a 2026 budget.
He has reversed several controversial policies, including scrapping public holiday cuts and ending lifetime benefits for former prime ministers, to ease public tensions.
With the National Assembly divided and a deficit-reduction agreement needed by September 24, Lecornu must balance demands from the Socialist swing group and resistance from his center-right allies.
His ability to form a stable government hinges on navigating fiscal constraints, maintaining coalition unity, and restoring public trust amid ongoing political and economic uncertainty.
