Overview
French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou utilized executive powers to secure the nation’s 2025 budget approval without parliamentary vote, leading to a looming no-confidence motion. Opposition parties, mainly France Unbowed, plan to challenge the decision, with the vote in the National Assembly expected to test Bayrou's fragile government. The political chaos follows a recent election that left no party with a majority, raising concerns about France's economic stability and its obligations to the EU to reduce debt. Bayrou's fate hinges on the support from various political factions amid scrutiny over the budget's implications.
