In his general policy speech to the National Assembly on October 14, 2025, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced the suspension of the pension reform until 2028, a concession to socialists to avert a censure motion. The Socialist Party confirmed it would not censure the government immediately, while right-wing voices voiced opposition. This move aims to stabilize the country and pass a budget by year's end.
