Lecornu Says Parties Show Will to Pass Budget by Year‑End as Macron Weighs Next Move

Today’s last‑chance talks probe whether a pension reform pause can secure a narrow accord to unlock the 2026 budget.

Overview

  • Sébastien Lecornu said he has “good reasons” to believe there is a shared will to adopt a budget before December 31, arguing that this convergence lessens the likelihood of dissolution.
  • Negotiators discussed suspending the 2023 pension reform, with Raphaël Glucksmann saying it now “becomes possible,” though Bercy warned such a pause would cost billions by 2027.
  • The National Assembly’s Bureau examines today the admissibility of LFI’s motion to remove President Macron, a complex process widely viewed as unlikely to succeed.
  • Rassemblement National and allied deputies vowed to systematically censure any government until new elections or a presidential resignation, while LR leaders remain split over cohabitation terms.
  • Lecornu, who resigned after an ultra‑short tenure, addressed the press before receiving the Socialist Party, and said indemnities for the ephemeral ministers have been suspended.
