France’s National Assembly on Wednesday is set to debate two no-confidence Wednesday certain to oust the fragile coalition of Prime Minister Michel Barnier. This comes after Barnier decided to overstep parliament to pass the social security budget.
Barnier's budget seeks to rein in France's spiralling public deficit through 60 billion euros in tax hikes and spending cuts. However, it has been opposed by politicians from both the left and far right.
The far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen is expected to vote for the motion put forward by the left, giving it enough numbers to pass. A poll indicates 63% are in favour of the resignation of French President Emmanuel Macron if Barnier’s government falls.
In an address to Parliament, the Prime Minister said ousting him would worsen the political situation in the country – a sentiment also shared by some French residents.
Barnier will be the first French government to be forced out by a no-confidence vote in more than 60 years, at a time when the country is struggling to tame a budget deficit.
France’s minority government is on the verge of collapse. It's after Prime Minister Michel Barnier pushed through the 2025 budget without a parliamentary vote and a no confidence vote looks likely on Wednesday.
The French government is all but certain to collapse later this week after far-right and left-wing parties submitted no-confidence motions on Monday against Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
