🇫🇷#France's crisis: What's next for #Macron? • FRANCE 24 English

Technocratic government or compromise made by parties?

🇫🇷On Monday, French Prime Minister Michel Barnier invoked the controversial constitutional tool Article 49.3 to push through the 2025 social security budget in parliament, triggering a no-confidence vote against him and his government.

🗳️The opposition, led by the New Popular Front, now has 24 hours to propose a motion of no confidence, with the vote potentially taking place as soon as Wednesday. Meanwhile, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, leaders of the Rassemblement National, announced that their party would introduce its own no-confidence motion and support similar motions from other parties. Should both parties vote in favor, the government will not survive.

🇩🇪🇪🇺As the political crisis escalated last week, investors briefly deemed France a greater credit risk than Greece, whose debt crisis nearly crippled the eurozone over a decade ago. France is the the second-largest economy in the eurozone after Germany, which is currently facing its own economic and political turmoil. The ongoing chaos in both countries is poised to send shockwaves far beyond their borders
