France’s governing administration led by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu faces growing political pressure after Green Party lawmakers challenge its handling of a deadly heatwave that struck in late June. In parliamentary debate, the Greens accuse the government of inadequate action as France continues to record heat-related deaths from extreme temperature episodes earlier in the year. Multiple outlets report that the heatwave response is central to the Greens’ move, including calls for an investigative committee. The Greens cite a figure of excess deaths linked to the late-June heatwave, while Prime Minister Lecornu disputes the Greens’ higher estimate reported in the National Assembly. Ahead of further political action, the Greens table a no-confidence motion aimed at forcing a vote on the government’s performance. One report states the motion is brought in response to the death toll attributed to the heatwave, with the public health agency referenced as putting the excess deaths at at least 1,000. France also prepares for the possibility of another heatwave in the coming week, while the political dispute over the government’s crisis measures continues in parliament.
