French Government Collapses

MOAB 9 Sep @ 2:52pm

France's governing coalition fell apart on Monday with a no-confidence vote for the current prime minister, who is an ally of President Emmanuel Macron.

Premier François Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him, losing an apparent gamble that lawmakers would back his push for France to slash public spending to repay its debts.

Bayrou, a centrist, is the fourth prime minister in 12 months.

France, Europe's second-largest economy, is currently grappling with a government debt crisis.

At the end of the first quarter of 2025, France’s public debt stood at $3.93 trillion, or about 114% of gross domestic product.

Tomorrow, we will ask for impeachment of Macron. The problem for the country is Mr. Macron. The day after tomorrow, we will be in the streets to block the country's economy, to say, 'This is enough.

We're giving Macron two choices: Either he can be impeached or he can resign.

That's too many votes for such a small country.
