flag France’s far-right National Rally filed a no-confidence motion on February 23, 2026, challenging Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu’s government over a new energy law that scaled back renewable targets and reversed plans to close 14 nuclear reactors. flag The RN accused the government of bypassing Parliament via decree, claiming the move would raise energy costs and harm public finances. flag The motion, which requires a 48-hour wait before debate, is expected to fail as the Socialist Party declined to support it, prioritizing stability. flag The energy law marks a major shift in France’s strategy, balancing climate goals with nuclear expansion amid a government lacking a parliamentary majority.
