The French parliament will hold a vote of no confidence in the govenment of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne. Proposed by the leftist coalition NUPES, the motion is not likely to pass, but it highlights the difficult path ahead for President Emmanuel Macron as he begins his second term.
French politics has entered a period of instability following parliamentary elections last month that saw the ruling party of recently re-elected President Emmanuel Macron fall short of an absolute majority by 39 seats.
