French government survives first of two no-confidence votes on budget
ReutersFeb 2, 2026 6:21 PM
PARIS, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The French government survived the first of two no-confidence motions in parliament on Monday, clearing another hurdle on the way of a 2026 budget.
The motion, filed by the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI), was backed by 260 lawmakers, falling short of the 289 votes required to topple the government.
If the government also survives the second no-confidence motion, filed by the far-right National Rally (RN), later on Monday as expected, it would mean France will finally have a 2026 budget.
The government has already survived several other no-confidence votes last month on parts of the text.
