French Government Tumbles In No-Confidence Vote
The French government entirely collapsed after Prime Minister Michel Barnier was also ousted in a no-confidence vote.MPs voted overwhelmingly in support of the action against him. This is just three months right after he was selected by President Emmanuel Macron.
The opposition parties have tabled the motion right after the former BreBrexit negotiator in a controversial. They used a unique power to move through without casting a vote. It also makes the first time the country’s government collapsed in a nonconfidence voting system since 1962.
The development of France’s political fluctuation right after the snap elections in the summer led to the non-single group having a majority in the parliament. All the MPS were required to either cast the vote or say yes to Wednesday’s vote. 288 votes are required for the motions that can pass. This is a total of 331 votes that can support the motion.
Barnier is now also obliged and can be presented with the government’s resignation, and the actual budget is triggering this downfall and calculating it as defunct. Therefore he is likely to stay on as the caretaker prime minister are Macron chooses the successor.
Both of these factors left and far right had tabled the motions on the no-confidence right after Barnier who pushed through reforming social security by invoking the presidential decree on Monday. That failing to win enough to support all measurements.
The winger alliance New Popular Front won the most seats in the parliamentary elections. That was previously charged for Macron’s judgment to select the centrist Barnier as the prime minister over the own candidates.
Alongside the far-right National Rally (RN), it felt as the Barnier’s budget – which also included €60bn (£49bn) in deficit reduction – was unacceptable.
Marine Le Pen, the RN leader, addressed the budget as “toxic for the French”.
Ahead of the vote, Barnier told the National Assembly that voting him out of office would not translate to the country’s financial problems.
“We have reached a moment of truth, of responsibility,” he said, adding that “we need to look at the realities of our debt”.
“It is not a pleasure that I propose difficult measures.”
In an interview with French broadcaster TF1 on Wednesday, Le Pen said there was “no other solution” than to extract Barnier.
For the answering to the French president’s prospects, she replied: “I am not asking for the resignation of Emmanuel Macron.”
However, Le Pen adds an additional part “if we do not respect the voice of voters and show respect for political forces and respect for elections”, then the pressure on the president will “obviously be stronger and stronger”.
