Confidence lost: the French government will resign for the first time since 1962

The president can appoint a new prime minister within 24 hours

The French parliament for the first time since 1962 may vote for a vote of no confidence in the government after Prime Minister Michel Barnier decided to approve the social security budget bypassing the national assembly. However, President Macron has not changed his foreign policy even amid the political crisis.

Earlier, on December 3, in France called the reason for the loss of confidence in Macron the financial chaos and his commitment to US President Joe Biden. This was stated by the leader of the party "Rise, France" Nicolas Dupont-Eignan.

On December 5, the chairwoman of the faction of the leftist party "Unruly France" Mathilde Panot accused Macron of creating a political crisis in the country, and also stated the need to hold early presidential elections.
