Sébastien Lecornu heads a minority government in France's fragmented National Assembly, where no stable majority exists after the 2024 snap elections. He survived multiple no-confidence motions in late 2025 and January 2026, invoked Article 49.3 to force passage of the 2026 budget in early February despite opposition from both the far left and National Rally, and has since managed routine governance including responses to summer wildfires. Persistent legislative deadlock and the risk of renewed censure votes remain the core drivers of uncertainty around his tenure, with any shift in opposition alliances or procedural moves in the coming parliamentary sessions capable of altering the balance.
