Michel Barnier, the centre-right prime minister appointed by President Macron, is facing a no-confidence vote regarding his budget, which seeks to cut public spending and increase taxes.
Barnier's government, dependent on the far-right National Rally for support, failed to pass a belt-tightening budget, prompting a looming no-confidence motion led by a left-wing coalition.
France's finance minister, Antoine Armand, emphasized the critical juncture France faces, urging politicians to avoid plunging the nation into further uncertainty through a no-confidence vote.
Marine Le Pen's National Rally confirmed support for a no-confidence vote against Barnier, signaling a united front with the left, potentially leading to the first government ousting since 1962.
