France Politics
France's Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announces the use for the third time of Article 49.3 of the Constitution to hold the government accountable for the budget bill for 2026 in front of an empty National Assembly, France's lower house of parliament, in Paris, France, on January 30, 2026. Article 49.3 of the Constitution allows the government to push through legislation without a vote in the National Assembly. However, the use of 49.3 allows opposition parties to put forward no-confidence motions (Photo by Adnan Farzat/NurPhoto).
