France’s political landscape is shaking like a TikTok dance challenge gone viral! 🕺 Prime Minister Francois Bayrou was ousted Monday after losing a confidence vote in the National Assembly over his controversial budget plan to slash billions in government spending. With only 194 votes in favor out of 558, this marks the first time in France’s Fifth Republic history that a government has collapsed during such a vote. 📉
Bayrou warned lawmakers that France’s debt—a staggering 114% of GDP (€3.3 trillion!)—is 'life-threatening' for the nation. 💸 'Reality will remain inexorable,' he declared, urging immediate action to avoid a financial spiral.
Meanwhile, far-right leader Marine Le Pen seized the moment, calling on President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the Assembly and hold new elections. Could this crisis reshape France’s future? 🤔 Stay tuned for updates as this political drama unfolds!
