"This government is on probation, a very short probation, and that the real battle is only just beginning," says hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party's lawmaker Eric Coquerel following the failure of the motion of censure against French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, which was rejected by a margin of 18 votes due to the abstention of the Socialists. Former France Unbowed (LFI) party member, now sitting with the Ecologist group Alexis Corbiere warns of the risk of a split on the left resulting from a "strategic disagreement" with the Socialists: "It would be a double victory for Macron's camp," he cautions.
