Macron to Address France After Government Collapse
French President Emmanuel Macron is set to address the nation following the collapse of Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government after a no-confidence vote. Barnier, who was appointed just three months ago, was ousted after using special powers to pass a controversial budget. The vote marks the first time in over 60 years that a French government has been voted down by parliament. As Macron searches for a new prime minister, political tensions rise, with opposition parties pushing for early presidential elections, which Macron has rejected.
