French Prime Minister François Bayrou delivered a key policy speech in Paris, aiming to balance support from the left while not alienating the right. He proposed renegotiating unpopular pension reforms to gain left-wing support for the 2025 budget. The Socialist Party and far-right MPs are crucial for his government's survival, with a no-confidence motion already filed by the hard-left France Unbowed party. Bayrou emphasized tackling France's debt, setting a public deficit target of 5.4% of GDP for 2025.
