French Government Faces No-Confidence Vote as Macron's Leadership Questioned

A majority of French citizens favor Macron's resignation if the Barnier government is censured, while opposition forces intensify pressure in budget negotiations.

• Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government is at risk of a no-confidence vote as debates over the 2025 budget escalate in the Assemblée Nationale.
• A CSA poll reveals that 62% of French citizens support President Emmanuel Macron stepping down if his government is censured, with opinions varying significantly by age and political affiliation.
• Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National and the left-wing La France Insoumise are leveraging the political deadlock to push for a no-confidence motion, highlighting fractures in Macron's minority coalition.
• In a bid to appease opposition demands, Barnier has announced measures including scrapping a planned electricity tax hike and tightening health benefits for undocumented migrants, though these moves have not secured broad support.
• The political turmoil comes as Macron distances himself from the immediate crisis, focusing on symbolic engagements like his visit to the Notre-Dame restoration site.
