00:00After days of political tension here in France, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has survived two no-confidence votes in Parliament this Thursday.
00:12Both motions, one filed by the hard-left France Unbowed Party and the other by Marine Le Pen's far-right national rally,
00:21fell short of the 289 votes needed to topple Lecornu's new fragile government.
00:29The result spares French President Emmanuel Macron from an immediate political crisis,
00:35but it also underlines just how weak his alliance has become.
00:40Lecornu's survival was helped by a last-minute concession.
00:45On Tuesday night, he announced the suspension of the highly unpopular pension reform
00:51that would gradually raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 years old.
00:57This move convinced most of the moderate-left socialist MPs to abstain rather than vote against him.
01:05For Macron, this buys him time but not stability.
01:10His government now faces a deeply fractured parliament ahead of highly explosive debates over next year's budget.
