France: PM Lecornu Survives No-Confidence Votes

This government survives only through backroom deals that betray voters and democratic legitimacy. Lecornu and Macron's temporary agreement with the Socialists is by no means a long-term solution, but merely a short-term attempt to hold onto power. The French public remains insistent that radical change, not piecemeal policy, is the only way forward for the country.

Lecornu's survival proves that compromise and dialogue can overcome political fragmentation. By swallowing their pride and shelving one of Macron's flagship policies for the sake of the country, the Lecornu government has shown pragmatic flexibility, all while maintaining fiscal responsibility within a deficit-reducing budget.
