"After less than four months in power, French Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government has lost a no-confidence vote in parliament over a social security budget dispute."
"Barnier, 73, was due to officially present his resignation to French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday morning, marking a significant political upheaval in the country."
"French parliamentarians from the left-wing alliance, New Popular Front, tabled the vote in opposition to Barnier's recent austerity budget which included major tax hikes and spending cuts."
"Barnier's resignation not only throws Paris into political chaos for the second time this year but also leaves the country without a budget for 2025."
