PARIS (Reuters) -French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu asked lawmakers on Tuesday not to use the vote on the budget as a pretext to vote his government out.
"There is no longer any pretext for a no-confidence motion," he said.
Lecornu was addressing parliament to spell out his budget priorities, in the hope of staving off losing a no-confidence vote that would plunge France further into the political mire.
