The still young French government of Premier Bayrou has survived a motion for no confidence in the left – socialists and right -wing extremists voted against it. France also has a household for the next year.
France's Prime Minister François Bayrou has survived two votes for no confidence in connection with the 2025 budget. Only 128 MPs of the National Assembly voted for the first application that the budget law would have been necessary. A second vote of no confidence in the budget for social security only received 122 votes.
The results of the vote had been expected because neither the socialists nor the right -wing extremists wanted to support the proposals of the left -wing populist opposition. Both parties had argued that they do not agree with the budget, but that France urgently need a household.
Premier also survives second Vote of no confidence
Bayrou had relied on the constitutional paragraph 49.3 to adopt the budget laws without the final vote in parliament. This is possible if he accepts a vote of no confidence.
The government budget is a compromise that a parliamentary mediation committee presented at the end of last week. According to this, France continues to state that the deficit of a good six percent last year has to be reduced to a maximum of 5.4 percent of gross domestic product. In addition, a total of around 50 billion euros are to be saved.
Not the first Motion of no confidence
It is not the first vote of no confidence in Bayrous, a short term: Die Linke had also submitted a notification of no confidence against the new government formed shortly before Christmas. But even with this vote in mid -January, most of the government's socialist members of the government did not withdraw trust, just as little as the right -wing nationals of Marine Le Pen.
France's predecessor under Michel Barnier, on the other hand, was overturned in December when you tried to adopt a household. At that time, right-wing and left-wing populists had jointly refused to trust the government.
