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.
