Bayrou Faces Likely Ouster in French Parliament Confidence Showdown

According to Rokna, Bayrou, appointed only nine months ago, has faced mounting opposition across the political spectrum, largely fueled by dissatisfaction with austerity measures and the government’s handling of economic pressures. Lawmakers from both left- and right-wing parties have signaled their intent to vote against him, making his removal highly likely.

If defeated, Bayrou would become the third prime minister to resign within a year, a reflection of France’s increasingly fragmented political landscape. His expected fall underscores the fragile position of President Emmanuel Macron, whose leadership has been repeatedly tested by parliamentary deadlock, public protests, and resistance to reforms.

Analysts warn that the outcome of the vote could deepen France’s fiscal and political paralysis at a time when the country faces pressing social unrest and economic challenges. The prospect of yet another government reshuffle raises questions about stability in Europe’s second-largest economy, as France struggles to chart a clear course forward.
