France: Severe Political Crisis as Opposition Threatens to Vote No Confidence in Michel Barnier’s Government

The French government, led by right-wing Prime Minister Michel Barnier, is facing a severe political crisis after opposition parties announced their intention to propose a vote of no confidence due to a dispute over the social security budget.

Barnier’s decision to push through budget measures without a vote has sparked significant discontent among both leftist and far-right parties.

This development comes at a critical time, as a vote of no confidence could lead to a drastic change in the French political landscape.
