Prime Minister Michel Barnier has pushed through controversial budget measures without parliamentary backing, which has led to a historic no-confidence vote in the National Assembly, unprecedented in over 60 years.
President Macron downplayed the no-confidence threat, asserting that the discussions are mere 'make-believe politics' and emphasizing that he's been elected twice, indicating public support for his leadership.
The far-right National Rally is set to back the left's no-confidence motion, marking a rare alliance in the National Assembly that challenges the stability of Barnier's government early in its term.
With the potential downfall of Barnier’s government just three months into his term, Macron must navigate a complex political landscape, facing limits on calling new elections for a year.
