Sébastien Lecornu has held the French premiership since his reappointment in October 2025 following a brief resignation and cabinet crisis. His minority government depends on shifting parliamentary support, notably from the Socialist Party, to defeat repeated no-confidence motions from La France Insoumise and the National Rally. Recent priorities center on negotiating a 2027 budget before year-end amid stagnant growth, high borrowing costs, agricultural pressures from summer droughts, and opposition resistance to deficit measures. With the presidential campaign approaching in 2027, lawmakers face incentives to avoid prolonged fiscal deadlock or further government turnover. Scheduled budget debates and potential censure votes in the coming weeks remain the main near-term catalysts for any change in his tenure.
