French opposition parties expected to file votes of no-confidence

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu is set to ram his budget bill through parliament without a vote after conceding it was a "partial failure" Monday after weeks of stalled negotiations. French hard-left France Unbowed and far-right National Rally party are both expected to file votes of no-confidence, said FRANCE 24 Senior Reporter James André, adding that the first such vote would take place on Friday if it was indeed filed.
