French President Emmanuel Macron is set to deliver a national address on Thursday in the wake of the National Assembly's historic no-confidence vote that led to the ousting of Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The vote, which saw 331 members of the National Assembly in favor of the motion, has left France without a functioning government.
Following Barnier's resignation, Macron is expected to focus on stabilizing the political crisis and potentially appointing a new prime minister to navigate the fractured parliament. The swift resignation of Barnier, after just three months in office, has put pressure on Macron to act promptly in naming a replacement capable of leading a minority government.
