Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had promised not to ram the budget through without a vote

France is expected to adopt its 2026 budget on Monday after months of fraught negotiations if Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu survives the latest in a string of no-confidence motions.

The premier on Friday forced his budget through parliament without a vote for the third and final time, triggering another wave of motions from the hard left and far-right parties.
