Paris: French government is heading towards collapse after far-right and left-wing parties said they would vote for a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
French PM Michel Barnier faces vote of no-confidence with overwhelming majority. 288 votes were required out of 577 parliament members. Left wing and extreme right wing together gave 331 votes in favour of no-confidence.
President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Michel Branier as a Prime Minister 3 months before. The implementation of the budget without the approval of the Parliament led to the ouster of the Prime Minister
Prime Minister has imposed the budget without approval of assembly.
Barnier has failed to listen to our demands regarding the budget, says opposition
There was no other option we had except to fire Barnier. We are not demanding for President Mackron’s resignation, National Rally Party leader Marine Le Pen.
Le Pen will not listen to the voice of the voters, will not respect the political powers and elections, then the pressure on the president will continue.
