French PM Barnier's Government Survives No-Confidence Vote Amid Far-Right Support
ai generated text
Michel Barnier, the new conservative Prime Minister of France, survived a no-confidence motion brought by the left-wing opposition, with the motion failing to gather the necessary 289 votes. The motion was brought by 192 lawmakers of the New Popular Front coalition, who accused Barnier of being a "hostage and accomplice" of the far-right National Rally. Despite his government being weak and propped up by the far-right, Barnier has sought to firmly take the reins and has warned that France faces a financial crisis if its budget deficit is not narrowed.
It's mathematical, without the support of the RN, your government would have been overthrown.
I know that I am in the hands of parliament.
I think the situation is serious enough not to bring down this government before it has got going.
We are going to... give the product a chance... We cannot add to the chaos as you (the left) are doing.
The existence of this government, in its composition and its orientation, is a negation of the result of the legislative elections.
