France's Government Teeters on Edge Amid No-Confidence Vote Threats

France is facing political instability as Prime Minister Michel Barnier is expected to lose a no-confidence vote over the budget, leading to the collapse of his minority government. Barnier, appointed by President Macron, has struggled to pass a budget due to opposition from both the left-wing coalition and the populist right led by Marine Le Pen. If Barnier falls, he may remain in a caretaker role while Macron seeks a replacement, but no stable government is expected until new elections can be called in July.
