French Government Survives No-Confidence Vote

The French government faced a no-confidence vote in parliament.

This vote was about a decision the government made regarding the budget for 2026.

The government wanted to pass the part of the budget that deals with spending without getting the final approval from the National Assembly.

A group called France Unbowed proposed this vote.

For the vote to pass, 289 members of parliament needed to support it.

However, only 267 members supported it, so the government survived the vote.

This means the government can continue to work as usual.
