French PM set to survive no-confidence motion but fate in balance
Briefly

François Bayrou, Prime Minister of France, is poised to survive a no confidence vote this week, but his tenure remains uncertain after a short duration in office. Appointed by President Emmanuel Macron to stabilize the government following chaotic elections, Bayrou faces mounting pressure from opposition parties, particularly after the Parti Socialiste filed a no confidence motion. Despite widespread leftist support, the motion is likely to fail without backing from the far-right party led by Marine Le Pen. The outcome of this vote could significantly impact Macron's presidency and future stability in French politics.
Bayrou dismissed the upcoming no confidence motion as a "joke," viewing it merely as a political maneuver by the Parti Socialiste to assert their opposition stance.
Olivier Faure expressed the PS's desire for real change in leadership, stating they hope Bayrou will no longer be Prime Minister, as they seek genuine dialogue.
