Emmanuel Macron Addresses Nation After Censure of Michel Barnier’s Government
Following the censure of Michel Barnier’s government by the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP), French President Emmanuel Macron is set to address the nation for the first time since the Prime Minister’s fall. The motion, supported by 331 deputies, compelled Barnier to resign, making him the shortest-serving Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic. Macron previously expressed disbelief in the censure vote, criticizing the National Rally’s involvement, while Barnier emphasized the responsibility of each deputy and the need to prioritize the nation’s interest.
