"French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu survived the first of two no-confidence votes in parliament on Thursday, after securing crucial support from the Socialist Party by promising to suspend President Emmanuel Macron's disputed pension reform. The motion, filed by the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party, gained 271 votes, falling short of the 289 needed to topple Lecornu's week-old government. A second motion, brought by the far-right National Rally, is expected later Thursday but also appears unlikely to pass."
