Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu held talks on Monday with French political leaders on emergency legislation to keep the government running in the new year in the absence of a proper budget. A joint committee of lawmakers from both chambers failed on Friday to hammer out a full 2026 budget bill, forcing Lecornu to seek stopgap legislation, a so called ‘special law’, to allow spending, tax collection and borrowing to continue in January. Details and analysis by FRANCE 24 reporter Clovis Casali.
