French Government Faces Collapse Amid Imminent No-Confidence Vote
TL;DR Summary
French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a likely ousting in a no-confidence vote as France grapples with a political crisis and a massive budget deficit. Barnier's attempt to pass a controversial budget using a constitutional mechanism has led to opposition parties, including the far-right National Rally, pushing for his removal. If successful, this would mark the first government ousting since 1962, plunging France into further political chaos amid a divided parliament and worsening economic conditions.
