Bayrou had proposed meaningful public spending cuts to address the country&#8217;s ongoing debt crisis, including scrapping two public holidays and freezing government expenditures to save $51 billion. This marked Bayrou as the fourth french prime minister to fall within <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >12 months amid political instability<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>France, Europe&#8217;s second-largest economy, is grappling with a high public debt of $3.93 trillion, or about 114% of GDP.Critics, including Deputy Mathilde Panot, welcomed the government&#8217;s fall, calling for Macron&#8217;s impeachment or resignation and threatening large-scale protests to oppose austerity measures. The political turmoil follows Macron&#8217;s 2024 decision to dissolve the National Assembly, which failed to secure a stable majority and heightened tensions with lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>Right-wing leader Marine Le Pen is now urging Macron to dissolve the National Assembly again, believing her National Rally party could gain a majority. Meanwhile, Macron is reportedly seeking to form a broad &#8220;grand coalition&#8221; spanning from center-left to center-right to stabilize governance after Bayrou&#8217;s ousting.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>France&rsquo;s governing coalition fell apart on Monday with a no-confidence vote for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-does-this-photo-show-fidel-castro-holding-justin-trudeau-as-a-baby\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Does This Photo Show Fidel Castro Holding Justin Trudeau As A Baby?\">current prime minister<\/a>, who is an ally of President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Premier Fran&ccedil;ois Bayrou was ousted overwhelmingly in a 364-194 vote against him, losing an apparent gamble that lawmakers would back his push for France to slash public spending to repay its debts,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/09\/08\/world-news\/frances-prime-minister-overwhelmingly-loses-confidence-vote-toppling-his-government\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Bayrou, a centrist, is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/peru-votes-to-impeach-its-fifth-president-in-6-years\/\" title=\"Peru Votes to Impeach Its Fifth ... in 6 Years\">fourth prime minister<\/a> in 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/france-turning-point-poll-shows-nationalist-candidate-taking-lead-presidential-face-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">France<\/a>, Europe&rsquo;s second-largest economy, is currently grappling with a government debt crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;At the end of the first quarter of 2025, France&rsquo;s public debt stood at $3.93 trillion, or about 114% of gross domestic product.
