French Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure said Wednesday that there were no guarantees that the suspension to France's controversial pension reform would go ahead, following talks with caretaker Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu. In an address from Matignon earlier in the day, Lecornu said he hoped to have a budget by the end of 2025, adding that dissolution of the country's parliament was looking "more remote". Professor of Public Law at University Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas, Denis Baranger, gives his insights.
