French Prime Minister François Bayrou faces a vote of confidence on September 8, with a high chance of being dismissed, having the opposition of the majority of parties.

The confidence vote scheduled for September 8, 2024, is crucial for Prime Minister François Bayrou, who is in a difficult position, with almost all political forces ready to oppose the motion. If the vote is unfavorable, President Emmanuel Macron will have to choose between appointing a new prime minister, forming a provisional government, or dissolving the National Assembly. This complicated situation is generated by a proposal to reduce the budget from 2026, and Bayrou, the fourth prime minister in three years, warns that his dismissal could trigger a deep crisis.
