French Prime Minister Beyroux explained the government’s 2026 budget plan at a press conference Thursday, saying that in order to get out of the government’s predicament, he called on the National Assembly to motion of no confidence his government on September 8.
The French 2026 budget was announced in July and was due to be considered by the National Assembly on October 14, AFP reported. But the budget was criticised by the French opposition after it was announced, and it was difficult to get more than half the mps to vote for it because the ruling coalition was not well represented in the National Assembly. Coupled with opposition parties such as unyielding France, a member of the leftist coalition that has the largest number of seats in the National Assembly, which supported large-scale protests across the country on September 10, it said it would launch a motion of no confidence against the government in the National Assembly on September 23rd, putting it in a difficult position to govern. Beyroux’s motion of no confidence was to enlist parliamentary support.
According to French media reports, under the French Constitution, a motion of no confidence failure would lead directly to the fall of the government. On 25 August, France’s far-right party, the National Union, the largest single party in the National Assembly, confirmed that it would vote no. Bars Deira, the party’s chairman, said on social media that the prime minister had declared the end of his government and that the NLD would not vote in favour of a government that inflicted suffering on the French. On the left, Beirut is even less likely to win — almost all the parties on the left have announced they will vote against it. “What makes him think that people who have always opposed his government’s policies will now vote for him?” Asked Olivier Foer, the socialist General Secretary
“Unyielding France”, the Green Party and other party leaders are also openly opposed to supporting the government. In an interview with French media, the unyielding French leader said Maqueron was “Responsible for the crisis” and that the party would begin impeachment proceedings against President Maqueron on September 23. “Unyielding France is ready to rule, and our appointment as Prime Minister will mark the end of suffering,” he said.
