Francois Bayrou is in a precarious position as Prime Minister following a no-confidence motion initiated by the Socialist Party due to failed pension reforms. Lacking a parliamentary majority, he faces a vote that underscores his fragility. Although he publicly dismissed the no-confidence motion, he is reportedly angry with the Socialists, who feel betrayed. The far-right National Rally has indicated they will monitor the government's budget closely, amidst concerns over France's financial difficulties.
The motion of no-confidence against Bayrou's government was tabled by the Socialist Party after the collapse of talks on pension reforms. Bayrou does not have a majority in parliament's lower house, the National Assembly, and the vote underscores the fragility of his position.
'Censuring the government today would not benefit the French people,' Le Pen told reporters. The far-right party has not ruled out using its leverage in parliament to vote out Bayrou, as it did with his predecessor Michel Barnier.
