Political Turmoil in France: No Confidence Votes Threaten Michel Barnier’s Government
France’s Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces no confidence votes that could mark the end of his three-month administration amidst rising political chaos. The National Assembly is set to debate motions brought by the hard-left and far-right, with Marine Le Pen’s National Rally expected to support the left’s motion. This scenario risks the shortest government tenure in the Fifth Republic’s history, prompting intense speculation regarding President Emmanuel Macron’s next steps in a parliament devoid of a majority party.
