France is on the brink of political instability as Prime Minister Michel Barnier is set to face a no-confidence motion after struggling to secure support for his budget proposal. Appointed by President Emmanuel Macron, Barnier’s minority government has been reliant on a fragile coalition. Despite efforts to amend his budget amidst opposition, including demands from Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally, Barnier faces overwhelming odds in the National Assembly, potentially marking the end of his brief tenure.
