French lawmakers are set to vote on a no-confidence motion that could lead to the ousting of Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government. The motion follows Barnier's attempt to push through a budget for 2025, which aims to address France's significant budget deficit and align with EU rules.
The proposed budget includes €60 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts to reduce the deficit to 5% next year. However, some measures, like delaying pension increases, have faced opposition from various parties.
