The French government is attempting to prevent a political crisis by promising not to raise electricity taxes, amid threats of a no-confidence vote that could topple Prime Minister Barnier.
Michel Barnier stated that, 'I've decided not to raise taxes on electricity,' marking a significant concession to opposition parties as France grapples with a divided parliament.
As the 2025 budget faces strong opposition, Barnier's minority government may resort to using article 49.3 to push vital legislation through without a parliamentary vote.
With mounting pressure from the far right and left against the government's budget proposals, the political landscape remains tense, risking the government's stability by Christmas.
