France’s Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces no confidence votes that could result in his government’s fall after just three months in office. This political crisis, instigated by a budget conflict, sees unlikely alliances forming between the far-right National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, and the hard-left opposition. Analysts predict Barnier’s government is unlikely to survive, placing French President Emmanuel Macron in a difficult position. The last time a no-confidence vote succeeded in France was in 1962 under President Charles de Gaulle, setting a historical precedent for the potential downfall of Barnier’s administration.
