French Premier Survives Censure Votes Over 2035 Energy Roadmap

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu survived two censure motions Wednesday that aimed to oust him over his government’s new energy roadmap.

The far-right National Rally and the far-left France Unbowed parties had each filed no-confidence motions to challenge the government’s decision to adopt its long-awaited energy strategy — which extends to 2035 — by decree instead of a parliamentary vote.
