- French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's government on Wednesday survived a second vote of no confidence in the National Assembly that had been called in protest against the EU-Mercosur trade deal.

The motion, filed by the far-right National Rally (RN) party, was backed by 142 members of parliament's lower house. 288 votes were needed for the motion to pass.

An earlier no-confidence motion filed by the hard-left on the same matter had also failed.
