The votes followed Lecornu’s decision on Tuesday to back suspending a divisive 2023 pension reform that would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
The leftist Socialist party had threatened to vote to oust the premier if he did not move to freeze the controversial pension reform.
Socialist lawmaker Laurent Baumel warned that sparing the premier was not a long-term agreement and urged new concessions in upcoming budget talks.
The vote instead resulted in a hung parliament and gains for the far right.
The confidence votes followed a dramatic fortnight in French politics that saw Lecornu resign and then be reappointed days later.
France’s debt-to-GDP ratio is the EU’s third-highest after Greece and Italy and close to twice the bloc’s 60% ceiling.
The 39-year-old Macron loyalist emphasised that the government would make suggestions, debate, and put all bills to vote.
The far right sees its best chance yet to take power in the 2027 presidential race when Macron’s second term ends. – AFP
