French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu presented his plans for the remainder of his term and rules out a possible candidacy for the presidency.

The French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced his plans for the remainder of his term, emphasizing that 2026 will be a productive year for France.

After the approval of the budget for 2026, Lecornu will focus on urgent issues, including presenting an energy programming law that will establish the country's energy strategy until 2035, including the construction of six new nuclear reactors. He will also update the military programming law, reflecting an increase in defense spending. Lecornu mentioned reforms to address the shortage of doctors and housing, as well as measures against fraud in healthcare.

Although several former prime ministers are preparing for the presidential elections in 2027, Lecornu reiterated that he will not run. He has gained popularity recently, but his political future remains uncertain in the context of the fragmentation of the political center.
