Sébastien Lecornu has held the French premiership since September 2025 under President Macron, surviving multiple no-confidence motions through Socialist Party support in a fragmented National Assembly. His minority government faces its next major test with the 2027 budget process amid the presidential campaign, as Lecornu has warned parliamentarians that delaying approval risks economic disruption, higher borrowing costs, and prolonged use of emergency financing measures. Recent weeks have featured responses to wildfires, including reconstruction aid and permitting reforms, alongside efforts to build cross-party backing while denying specific austerity rumors. The lack of a stable majority and reliance on ad hoc negotiations continue to shape assessments of his tenure.
