Bayrou Sets Sept. 8 Confidence Vote and Opens Talks With Party Leaders

Opposition vows to vote no, making the government's survival unlikely.

Si le gouvernement de François Bayrou semble condamné, c'est désormais l'avenir d'Emmanuel Macron à l'Élysée qui fait l'objet de toutes les spéculations.

Overview

  • Starting Monday, François Bayrou will receive party and parliamentary group leaders at Matignon to seek support ahead of the Sept. 8 confidence vote.
  • In a TF1 interview, he ruled out a new dissolution as a path to stability and said he is ready to discuss measures individually while insisting on fiscal consolidation.
  • La France insoumise, the Rassemblement National, the Socialists and the Greens say they will not grant confidence, and RN leader Jordan Bardella urges either dissolution or Emmanuel Macron’s resignation.
  • An Elabe poll reported this week finds 72% of respondents oppose giving confidence to Bayrou’s government.
  • The government’s plan targets €43.8 billion of 2026 savings via higher contributions from top earners, cutting unjustified tax breaks and tougher anti‑fraud efforts, as Macron chaired a cabinet meeting and Édouard Philippe warned a new dissolution could become ‘fairly ineluctable’ in case of prolonged deadlock.
