Prime Minister Michel Barnier was ousted from his position following a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly, highlighting a deepening political crisis in France. The fragmentation of the Assembly into three equal blocs has created a deadlock, complicating governance and budget approval. The opposition’s power to unseat the ruling bloc poses challenges to stabilizing the government, while rising tensions and demands for increased spending amid national debt concerns threaten the continuity of the Fifth Republic. President Emmanuel Macron’s authority diminishes as he faces widespread discontent.
