Bayrou Faces Renewed Censure Threats as Opposition Fractures Persist

The French Prime Minister's government remains under fire for perceived inaction, though opposition divisions limit the likelihood of an immediate censure motion succeeding.

François Bayrou's government has surpassed 100 days in office but faces increasing criticism over issues like pension reform, immigration, and energy policy.
The Rassemblement National (RN) and Socialist Party (PS) have raised the possibility of a motion of censure, though internal divisions within the opposition weaken its chances of success.
Public dissatisfaction with Bayrou's leadership is growing, with his approval rating falling to 27%, according to recent polls.
Half of French citizens reportedly support a motion of censure, reflecting frustration with the government's perceived inaction and contentious policy decisions.
The RN's push for censure also serves as a strategic move to maintain political relevance amidst internal challenges, including Marine Le Pen's upcoming legal verdict.
