Marine Le Pen's National Rally motion received only 144 votes as parliamentarians, including the New Popular Front, did not take part in the vote. Le Pen accused lawmakers of granting Lecornu a reprieve out of fear of the prospect of national elections.

Lecornu's concession involved suspending Macron's 2023 pension reform that would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, with the suspension coming as an amendment to the social security budget rather than through new legislation.

The Prime Minister also pledged not to invoke Article 49.3 of the Constitution to bypass parliamentary votes on the 2026 budget, a tool used by former French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou to pass its predecessor.

Lecornu's 2026 budget seeks to reduce the national deficit from 5.4% to 4.7%, though the prime minister has accepted potential concessions on the deficit up to 5%. Lecornu had initially resigned as prime minister earlier this month, before being reappointed by President Emmanuel Macron less than a week later.
