⌨French editors are centering on Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu's decision to bypass parliament using Article 49.3 to pass the 2026 budget (BFMTV, 20 Minutes, France TV Info, L'Express, L'Humanité, L'Obs). While L'Humanité and L'Express highlight the reversal of his earlier promises, the left-wing opposition has responded with a motion of censure. Meanwhile, diplomatic attention remains on President Macron's resistance to Donald Trump's Greenland-related trade threats (Le Figaro, Le Monde, Valeurs Actuelles).
