Four months of deadlock, during which the budget's contents were supported but watered down, ended after Monday's parliamentary move.
On Friday, Lecornu forced the budget through without a vote, which opened the way to Monday's two no-confidence votes. When the prime minister survived those votes, the budget was approved.
Lecornu writes on X that the budget "does not raise taxes for households and businesses."
But the budget is not completely finished. Lecornu says he will send it to the Constitutional Council, which will have the final say. However, it is not considered likely that the council will reject it.
France, the eurozone's second-largest economy, has been in political crisis since President Emmanuel Macron's 2024 by-election.
