France’s political scene just got a new plot twist! 📉 President Emmanuel Macron has asked outgoing Prime Minister Michel Barnier to stay temporarily as caretaker leader after his government collapsed.

Barnier’s government fell after 90 days – a record short tenure – when lawmakers rejected his 2025 budget plan. Critics called his austerity measures too harsh, but Barnier warned France’s ‘enormous deficit’ won’t vanish 🪄 with a no-confidence vote. 💼
What’s Next?
Macron is racing to appoint a new PM amid fears of a leadership vacuum. Analysts say this crisis could reshape France’s economic policies and test EU stability. Stay tuned for updates! 🔍
