PARIS, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) — France's National Assembly (lower house of parliament) on Thursday rejected two no-confidence motions against Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's government.
The resolutions were put forward by the far-left party France Insoumise and the far-right National Rally party in response to the pension reform planned by the government.
To secure support, S. Lecornu announced the suspension of the controversial reform, which aims to raise the statutory retirement age from 62 to 64, until the next presidential election. This concession was made, in part, to appease the Socialists, whose votes could be decisive.
"You can see how serious the situation is. You can see how difficult it is. The debate had to begin. It's about to begin," the prime minister told reporters as he left the National Assembly after the vote.
