Government crisis in France: Barnier with a vote of no confidence over budget!

In France, a possible dismissal of the government is imminent! Prime Minister Michel Barnier will move into a position in a TV address on Tuesday evening at 8:00 p.m., while the political situation in the country is tense. Marine Le Pen, the parliamentary group leader of the racial nationally (marginal), blamed the government for the current crisis and explained that the vote of no confidence is "unfortunately our only way" to protect the French from a "dangerous, unjust and punishing budget", as announced recently. Barnier previously put the constitutional article 49.3 into force to enable the approval of a budget without a coordination, which paved the way for today's vote of no confidence.

core of the crisis

The applications for a vote of no confidence have been submitted by the left -wing populists and the RN and are debated today from 4 p.m. Minister of Economic Affairs Laurent Saint-Martin criticized Le Pen by accusing her of only looking for "political preliminary walls" and not interested in dialogue. Despite Le Pen's demands, Barnier had made some concessions, including returns in the case of medication. Saint-Martin warned of the economic consequences that a government collapse could bring, and asked rhetorically who would be to blame if the interest rose and the taxes got on-"the country is at a turning point," he emphasized.

The euro has already reacted to the intensified situation and has lost value in the past few days, which the markets unsettled. The focus is also on French government bonds because the country is fighting with high deficits and enormous debt. You are looking forward to the personal political future for Barnier, while speculation about possible successors are already underway, including Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu and former socialist premier Bernard Cazeneuve, as reported by the "Süddeutsche Zeitung". Regardless of who will come into play as the next head of government or boss, the situation remains tense, since no party can have a majority that can be able to government alone.
