The French government, led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, is under significant pressure as far-right party National Rally, headed by Marine Le Pen, has rejected budget concession requests. This raises the possibility of a no-confidence vote that could threaten the government’s survival. Barnier recently made concessions but Le Pen demands more, warning of potential parliamentary conflict. The government aims to implement austerity measures amidst significant national debt, with a social security funding bill set to be presented soon, amidst a politically fragile landscape.
