    France's government survives no-confidence vote, budget is finally adopted

    France's government survived a no-confidence vote Wednesday in parliament, and the state budget for 2025 is finally adopted.

    Prime Minister François Bayrou had used special constitutional powers to get the budget bill approved without a vote by lawmakers, which triggered the no-confidence motion.

    Only 128 lawmakers approved the motion, far from the 289 votes needed.

    Bayrou, a veteran centrist, was appointed in December amid a chaotic political crisis prompted by budget disputes that led to the collapse of his predecessor's government.
