France's Socialists have filed a no-confidence measure against Prime Minister Francois Bayrou after pension talks collapsed, a senior party lawmaker said on Tuesday, but it has little chance of passing without the support of the far-right National Rally which for the moment has suggested it will not follow suit.
Months-long talks between French trade unions and employers over reforms to the pension system crumbled late on Monday, prompting Bayrou to summon both sides for talks to find a way forward.
