Claim 1: “Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is holding a meeting on the digital security of government institutions.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence confirms that Sébastien Lecornu is/was the Prime Minister of France (as of September 2025), none of the provided evidence mentions a specific meeting regarding the 'digital security of government institutions.' The evidence focuses on his appointment, his resignation, and general financial plans, but does not corroborate the specific event described in the claim.
