France Finally Passes a 2026 Budget After Months of Deadlock

AI-assisted: summaries and questions may be incomplete or incorrect. Verify important details with the linked original reporting.

Summary

France adopted its 2026 budget in early February after two no-confidence motions failed, ending roughly four months of political paralysis over spending and debt.
The budget trims the deficit and boosts military spending, giving PM Sébastien Lecornu's weak minority government a fragile reprieve.
The turmoil traces to Macron's 2024 snap election, which produced a splintered National Assembly where far-left and far-right parties hold 330 of 577 seats.

The question

France's political fragmentation makes stable government nearly impossible.
