Motie van wantrouwen voor Franse regering over begrotingswet

December 3, 2024 - France’s minority government is on the brink of collapse after Prime Minister Michel Barnier used special powers to force through his budget without a vote in parliament.

Furious opposition parties said they would back a no-confidence motion to oust the former Brexit negotiator in a vote that could take place as early as Wednesday.

Barnier opted to push through controversial reforms to social security by invoking presidential decree after failing to win enough support for the measures, the BBC said.
