The French National Assembly is set to debate two motions of no confidence against Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government, proposed by the New Popular Front and National Rally. Emmanuel Macron faces critical choices in forming a new government should Barnier be ousted, with potential candidates discussed including Sébastien Lecornu and François Bayrou. The fate of the 2025 budget also hangs in the balance as discussions around financial stability and political coalitions continue amid rising tensions in Parliament.
