French government risks collapse in no-confidence vote

ai generated text

French government is likely to topple on Wednesday due to a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Michel Barnier. This is because opposition parties plan to support the motion, which would make Barnier the second prime minister to be ousted this year. If the motion succeeds, it would be the first time a French government has been removed this way in over 60 years. President Emmanuel Macron will need to appoint a new prime minister, and the event marks the latest issue in a series of problems during Macron's presidency. However, Macron has insisted that he will serve out the rest of his term until 2027.

    1. Censuring the budget is for us the only way the constitution gives us to protect the French.

    1. I'm here because I've been elected twice by the French people.
    2. We shouldn't scare people with these things, we have a strong economy.
    3. France is a rich, solid country, which has made a lot of reforms and is sticking to them, which has stable institutions, a stable constitution.

    1. Barnier may still believe he can call Le Pen's bluff and prevent a censure motion from passing, but I don't see how he gets the numbers.
    2. It makes France look like the sick man of Europe due to a combination of political paralysis, social unrest and fiscal incontinence, with no early cure in sight.
    3. Either way, he already looks weak and desperately dependent. He has granted Le Pen more legitimacy by offering policy climbdowns. And each new budget concession makes Le Pen look more like a Robin Hood, stealing back money for pensioners, for sick people and for householders. All of which could further broaden her electoral base.
