Political Turmoil in France: Prime Minister Michel Barnier Faces No-Confidence Vote
In France, Prime Minister Michel Barnier invoked a constitutional article to legislate without parliamentary approval, prompting no-confidence motions from both the Left Alliance and Marine Le Pen’s party. As Barnier seeks to stave off an imminent vote of no confidence, President Emmanuel Macron expresses his disbelief at the potential downfall of Barnier’s government, emphasizing the need for stability. Meanwhile, Barnier is making last-ditch efforts to convince Le Pen to oppose the no-confidence vote scheduled for Wednesday.
