Government Resolves Budget Deadlock with Stopgap Law

Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu holds emergency talks on legislation to keep government running.
Joint committee deadlock on 2026 budget forced stopgap measures.
Lecornu's minority government faces challenges after three prior collapses since 2024.
Legislators likely approve law Tuesday to delay proper budget debate until January.
Lecornu will meet non-far-right/left parties before cabinet meeting.
Stopgap allows spending, tax collection, and borrowing in January.
Lecornu avoids using constitutional powers to prevent no-confidence votes.
