France Government Collapse: Political Instability and Economic Concerns Loom
The French government was toppled in a no-confidence vote, forcing President Emmanuel Macron to find his fourth prime minister in a year. Prime Minister François Bayrou lost the vote after his budget plan, which included deep spending cuts, alienated lawmakers across the political spectrum. The collapse of the government creates uncertainty and instability amid significant fiscal challenges and global unrest. Macron’s struggle to build parliamentary support, due to a fragmented legislature, has left his domestic ambitions stymied while he maintains authority over foreign policy.
