Macron, EU chief Von der Leyen meet in Paris

## Meeting Between French and European Commission Presidents

Meeting Between French and European Commission Presidents

On Fri, President Emmanuel Macron of France met with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, in Paris. This meeting took place ahead of the upcoming European summit in Brussels.

The leaders met at the Élysée Palace, where they posed for photographers before commencing their discussions.

Recently, France has experienced political turbulence. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu survived two no-confidence votes on Thu, temporarily stabilizing the government and providing President Macron with a brief reprieve before addressing the national budget.

Despite this, France continues to be governed by a minority government in a fragmented parliament where no single party holds a majority. This results in major legislation requiring last-minute negotiations. The next significant legislative challenge is passing a spending plan before year-end.

On Thu, the 577-member National Assembly dismissed a no-confidence motion filed by the France Unbowed party, falling short by 18 votes of the 289 required to topple the government. A subsequent motion by the National Rally also failed.

If Prime Minister Lecornu had been ousted, President Macron would have faced several difficult decisions, such as calling new elections or appointing a new prime minister, which would have been the fifth appointment within a year.

Ursula von der Leyen also recently withstood two no-confidence votes. A nationalist political group, Patriots for Europe, criticized her leadership, citing concerns over migration policies and agricultural practices. Nevertheless, the motions against her were overwhelmingly rejected by EU lawmakers.

Von der Leyen has now survived three no-confidence votes since beginning her second five-year term as President of the European Commission, marking the first time a commission chief has faced such votes in over a decade.
