French Prime Minister Michel Barnier is expected to resign after parliament passed a motion of no-confidence against him. His government fell following a united effort from opposition parties, including Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and the left-wing New Popular Front. This marks the first time a French government has been ousted in over 60 years. Barnier’s controversial budget, which aimed for significant deficit reduction, was a focal point for discontent among lawmakers. Emmanuel Macron is now tasked with selecting a successor, as Barnier continues in a caretaker role.
