French Political Stability: Dissolution of Parliament Unlikely

Caretaker French PM Sebastien Lecornu indicated that parliament dissolution seems unlikely following discussions with political parties. These discussions revealed a collective willingness to approve a budget by year's end. Lecornu will further address the matter with President Macron.

Caretaker French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced on Wednesday that the dissolution of parliament is improbable. His statement followed multiple discussions with different political entities, which highlighted a shared intent to finalize a budget by the end of the year.

Addressing the media from the courtyard of Matignon Palace in Paris, Lecornu emphasized that this collective willingness fosters momentum and convergence. As a result, the chances of parliamentary dissolution diminish significantly.

Lecornu plans to meet with President Emmanuel Macron later in the evening to deliberate on the outcomes of his talks with political parties, advancing this newfound consensus.
