Lecornu Notes Commitment to Finalize French Budget
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has indicated that an agreement is emerging for France to approve a budget before the year concludes, as reported by Le Monde.
Speaking from the Matignon Palace, Lecornu stated:
"I can confirm that, following discussions with the President of the National Assembly, Ms. Braun-Pivet, and the President of the Senate, Gérard Larcher, as well as representatives from the UDI, LIOT, the Republicans, Place publique, MoDem, Horizon, Renaissance, and other groups, there is a shared intention to establish a budget for France by December 31."
He added that this commitment fosters consensus, effectively reducing the likelihood of parliamentary dissolution. Lecornu will present his conclusions to President Emmanuel Macron later in the evening.
Outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu remarked on Wednesday that the risk of parliament’s dissolution appears diminished after consultations with various political factions, according to reports.
"This shared intent has generated momentum and alignment, clearly lessening the chances of dissolution," he noted.
Le Monde nalso mentioned that Lecornu is scheduled to meet with the Socialist Party, the Ecologists, and the Communist Party to discuss possible compromises for ensuring stability.
Recent assessments indicate declining public approval for President Emmanuel Macron. An Odoxa survey of over 1,000 respondents revealed that 57% attribute Lecornu’s resignation primarily to Macron, while 70% support the president stepping down.
