French Prime Minister François Bayrou has lost the vote of confidence he called in his government.

France’s National Assembly has voted by 364 votes to 194 to eject him from office and bring down his minority government. Another 25 MPs abstained.

Bayrou initiated Monday’s surprise vote himself, seeking, as he explained it, to “shock” politicians into agreeing on a way to tackle the country’s looming debt crisis – but it’s been clear for weeks that he was heading for defeat.

He now has to present Emmanuel Macron with the resignation of his government, which according to French media he will do tomorrow morning.

  1. They need to use a word other than collapse. It makes it sound like there is no more government and the country has descended into anarchy

  2. They collapsed because they thought they could do what they wanted instead of serving the people who pay them. Corporations and banks driving governments instead of the people…🤬

  3. Macron is more interested in profits for his business friends and getting rid of French benefits for citizens to care about actually governing in ways that address the people’s problems .

  4. Viva AES countries we Africa continent proud of this

  5. Yaaahhh neh!!! Now they look like puppets.. Africa took their resources back and stopped France from Raping Africa land for resources.. no shame this county has..this is just the beginning

  6. to give everyone contexts the centrists are trying to balance a horrific budget that has the worse borrowing in all of europe and both the far right and far left made promises that would 100% require more lending. That's why Macron isn't allowing the left to take power in parliament and why he appealed to the far right because at least they'd agree to cut social services though at the end did not agree to the tax hikes

  7. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those who were first shall be last at the last shall be first….F france My ancestors are doing this to you, for the war crimes committed by France in Africa And so many of you looked away, this is your karma I hope you all burn in hell which is exactly where each and every last one of you are going😂😂😂 bye we doing amazing by the way in Africa 😂
