Macron loses another Prime Minister after no vote of trust

French President Emmanuel Macron faces another political crisis and will be forced to choose a new Prime Minister for the fourth time in less than 12 months after a vote of non-confidence on Monday.

Prime Minister François Bayrou should resign after a radical majority voted to start it from the minority government during a 364-194 vote for his controversial discussion of public spending to try to reduce the national debt of France.

Macron appointed Bayrou in December following a series of resignations during the year, when three other prime ministers left the first job.

The French president should appoint another Prime Minister – the fifth in less than two years.

France is the second European economy, but according to Bayrou, it faces an economic crisis.

But the centrist chief found himself in the face of increasing opposition after having revealed plans to reduce the budget deficit to 4.6% of GDP next year to guarantee a saving of $ 51 billion thanks to a series of discounts of expenditure, tax increases and dissolution of two holidays.

But the voting of non-confidence could point out an increase in the dead end within the French government at a time when Macron assumes not only a leading role when it comes to opposing the war of the Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine and the existential threats which poses for European allies, but an increase in global links of instability and trends with the United States-which is also one of its main business partners.

It is not clear if Bayrou will resign on Monday evening or when Macron publicly tackles the vote.
