French Government at Risk
French Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government faces mounting political challenges as it confronts a critical no-confidence vote in parliament. The motion has been brought forward amid escalating budget disputes, with opposition parties accusing the government of financial mismanagement and inadequate fiscal reforms.
The no-confidence vote reflects deeper political divisions within France, as the administration struggles to balance economic recovery efforts with rising inflation and public debt. Analysts warn that failure to secure a parliamentary majority could destabilize Barnier’s government, potentially leading to early elections or a reshuffle of the cabinet.
