French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu survived two no-confidence votes in parliament on Thursday, clinging to his fragile minority government, writes Euronews.
MPs of the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, voted on two motions filed by the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) and the far-right National Rally (RN), led by Marine Le Pen.
The first motion filed by the hard left was narrowly rejected, garnering only 271 of the 289 votes needed to topple the government.
The second motion filed by the far right also failed (144 votes) as the left refused to support it.
Both groups were hoping to bring down Lecornu`s fragile government, less than a week after Macron controversially reappointed the prime minister after he had resigned.
