The French National Assembly on February 2, 2026, rejected two no-confidence motions against Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu's government, definitively adopting the 2026 finance bill after a four-month saga of intense debates. The compromise text targets a 5% GDP deficit—deemed insufficient by experts—following concessions, three uses of Article 49.3, and opposition criticism, with the bill now headed to the Constitutional Council for review before late promulgation.
