The French government led by Sebastien Lecornu could resign next week if it does not make changes to the national budget.
Lecornu formed this government on October 10, 2025, a few days after he reversed his decision to resign. It is made up of four parties that do not have a majority in Parliament.
The RN (Rassemblement National) and LFI (La France Insoumise) parties, which have been in Parliament for almost 200 years, intend to dismiss this government but are hampered by the fact that the PS (Partie Socialiste) does not support this idea.
The PS has indicated that if the Lecornu government does not make changes, the taxes on pensioners remain unchanged, and the taxes on the wealthy are not increased, they will vote on October 27 to dismiss it.
The president of the 66-year-old party in parliament, Olivier Faure, issued the warning on October 24, informing the Lecornu government that it had three days to make these changes.
He said, “If no changes are made to the government and the social security budget to ensure justice in social security and taxes by Monday, the Socialists will vote to dismiss this government.”
Faure declared that the French government should not continue to tax the elderly, the sick, the young and those in moderate employment, while “nothing is required of the wealthy.”
While in the 577-member French National Assembly, the RN, LFI, PS and other parties not in the coalition government would join forces, next week they would go with this government.
