On December 4, the French Parliament passed a vote of no confidence in the government of prime minister Michel Barnier by 331 votes. This is the first such case since 1962, and the Barnier government has become the shortest in the history of the Fifth Republic.
The essence of the problem that caused The Government of Michel Barnier, to be defeated, is the bill on the financing of Social Security.
Barnier's difficulty pushing through the 2025 budget in a deeply divided parliament has plunged France into its second political crisis in six months.
Since its formation in September, the Barnier minority government has relied on the support of the National Front for its survival.
A budget bill that aims to contain France's growing public deficit by raising taxes by 60 billion euros (США 63 billion) and cutting spending could mean the end of this shaky balance sheet.
In turn, French President Emmanuel Macron , amid the resignation of the Barnier government, saidthat he was not going to leave the post until the end of his term of office.
