French media on October 15 focused on the political fallout from Prime Minister Lecornu's decision to suspend pension reform. Morning reports highlighted the 2026 budget, with "14 billion in tax increases" and the proposed suppression of 23 tax loopholes, alongside calls for the Zucman tax. Lecornu's government faced questions from deputies regarding the budget and the pension reform suspension, with some Socialist deputies divided over censuring the government despite party directives. In the afternoon, the Council of State rejected Marine Le Pen's appeal against her immediate ineligibility. By evening, discussions continued on the "suspension" of pension reform, with doubts surrounding its implementation and new calls for censure emerging from various opposition factions, further testing Lecornu's fragile stand.
