The hard-left party has brought a no-confidence motion in the National assembly against the government of France's new prime minister François Bayrou.

The far-right leader Le Pen's party National Rally will not support the no-confidence motion brought in the National assembly against the French government. It is clear that the prime minister of france will remain in office and the country's 2025 budget will be passed. The party said that we would not take advantage of the instability. On the other hand, prime minister François Bayrou on monday got the 2025 budget approved without a vote of MPs.
Right-wing National Rally President jordan Bardella said that the French will not take advantage of a new round of instability in the current era. At the same time, the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) coalition has already said that it will not support the no-confidence motion because it is time to give the budget to France. The hard-left party has brought a no-confidence motion in the National assembly against the government of France's new prime minister François Bayrou. At least half of the 577 MPs will be required to pass this motion. It is believed that the hard-left MPs can vote in support of the motion, but they do not have enough numbers to topple the government of the centrist coalition.
French prime minister François Bayrou on Monday got the 2025 budget approved without a vote of MPs. For this, he used special constitutional powers. Under the French Constitution, the budget will be automatically considered approved if the no-confidence motion is rejected. In december last year, a no-confidence motion was brought against right-wing prime minister Michel Barnier after the budget controversy. Due to this, he had to resign from the post of prime minister after three months.
PM Francois Bayrou has held talks with coalition parties several times to keep his minority government afloat. He agreed to provide more funds for public hospitals and promised not to cut 4,000 jobs in national education. Earlier, he had said that he was ready to negotiate on raising the retirement age from 62 to 64.
In the general election held in france in July, no party got a majority in the 577-seat National Assembly. The leftist New Popular Front (NFP) coalition had the highest number of 190 seats. Macron's centrist coalition had about 160 seats and right-wing leader Le Pen's National Rally had 140 seats. After this, President Emmanuel Macron nominated Michel Barnier as the new Prime Minister.
The hard-left party had presented a no-confidence motion against Michael Barnier's government, which was also supported by the far-right party led by Marine Le Pen. Out of 577 MPs of the French Parliament, 331 MPs voted against the government. Since then, a political crisis has arisen in the country. Recently, Macron has appointed 73-year-old Francois Bayrou as the new Prime Minister.
