France’s parliament is scheduled to vote Monday to remove Prime Minister Francois Bayrou. This decision follows nine months of negotiations over his austerity budget, projected to cost €44 billion (approximately $52 billion) in savings. Bayrou’s call for a confidence vote signals a significant challenge to Macron’s leadership and potential political instability within the country. The move underscores ongoing disagreements regarding fiscal policy and the government’s strategy.
