Overview
- Sébastien Lecornu accepted the post "for duty" and pledged to deliver a 2026 budget and end the political standoff.
- Rassemblement National said it will immediately censure the government, and La France Insoumise plans a motion to remove the president plus a censure vote.
- Macron gathered party leaders at the Élysée without RN or LFI, yet efforts to assemble a workable arrangement produced no firm commitments.
- Socialist leaders denied any agreement or guarantees, and senior figures on the right rejected a centrist pact, leaving support uncertain.
- Élysée sources said Lecornu has carte blanche to negotiate and propose nominations, with dissolution held off for now but no stable majority in sight.
