Paris, January 23 (Xinhua) — French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu's government on Friday avoided a no-confidence vote over the state budget. Members of the National Assembly (lower house of parliament) rejected two proposals on the matter.

According to the National Assembly, the left-wing proposal received 269 votes, 19 votes short of the 288 required for adoption. A second proposal, submitted by the right, was also rejected with 142 votes, significantly below the threshold required to force the government to resign.

On January 19, S. Lecornu announced that he would invoke Article 49.3 of the Constitution, which allows legislation to be passed without a parliamentary vote, to overcome the impasse over the approval of the 2026 state budget. –0–
