French Prime Minister Michel Barnier Faces Imminent No-Confidence Vote Amidst Budget Crisis
Prime Minister Barnier's government is on the brink of collapse as a no-confidence vote looms over controversial budget measures passed without approval.
Overview
French Prime Minister Michel Barnier is likely to be ousted in a no-confidence vote set for December 4, following his controversial use of Article 49.3 to push through a budget without parliamentary approval. Facing a coalition of left-wing and far-right opposition, Barnier's government is under immense pressure as he navigates a precarious political landscape. Despite attempts to revise his budget proposal and address concerns from Marine Le Pen's party, Barnier's concessions have proven insufficient. If he is removed, he will become the shortest-serving prime minister in the Fifth Republic.
