The historic no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Michel Barnier marks the first such occurrence in France's national legislature since 1962, reflecting deep political divides.
Macron's government faces a turbulent future with the National Assembly fragmented into three major blocs, complicating the search for a viable majority alliance.
Critics accused Barnier of governing without democratic legitimacy after pushing through a national budget without legislative approval, prompting anger and opposition from other parties.
At 73, Barnier's tenure as prime minister was one of the shortest in history, serving only 91 days, raising concerns about stability in French leadership.
