    French government survives first of two no-confidence votes on energy law

    -

    PARIS, Feb ‌25 (Reuters) - The French ​government survived the first of two ⁠no-confidence motions in parliament on Wednesday filed following its ​decision to adapt through decree ‌a new energy law, without giving the National Assembly the final ⁠say.

    The motion, filed ⁠by France's far-right National Rally (RN) party, was backed by 140 members of parliament, ‌while 289 votes were needed ⁠for the motion ‌to pass.

    A vote ​on the second no-confidence motion, filed by the hard-left ‌France Unbowed, (LFI) is ​expected shortly.

    Prime ⁠Minister Sebastien Lecornu's government, which ‌lacks a ⁠parliamentary majority, already has survived two no-confidence votes this year ​after pushing ‌a delayed budget through the ⁠National Assembly.
