French PM Bero fights for existence as opponents refused to support confidence

The French opposition parties have said that they will not return the Prime Minister François Bayoro after calling for vote of confidence on the plan to cut deep budget on 8 September.

Bayoro, who led a minority government since last December, said a vote on Monday, France was warned that he was facing “worrying and therefore decisive moments”. “Yes, it is risky, but it is risky to do nothing”, he said, in front of France’s growing budget deficit.

From the national rally over the rights of socialists, the rights of Greens and France, the opposition parties said they would vote against them.

Bayoro called the vote two days ago, which was called to “block everything” throughout France.

Bloquon tout Agitation, Which began on social media, but since then the unions and distant left have been supported, Bayro emerged after the announcement of plans for € 44BN (£ 38bn) in the budget cut in July.

Reacting to the news of the vote, France’s CAC-40 stock index fell 1.59% on Monday and then 2% ahead on Tuesday morning.

Finance Minister Eric Lombard said on Tuesday that “collectively we have to find a way to prepare a budget for recovery for 2026”.

Last year’s budget deficit hit 5.8% of France’s Economic Production (GDP) and Bero said that France was in danger and Parliament would be asked “to choose the path that allows us to avoid this curse. [of indebtedness],

After Mitchell Barnier’s government fell in a trust vote last December, Bayro was appointed Prime Minister by President Emmanuel Macron.

The approach to Bairo and his delicate government seems tarnished, as they do not have enough support in the National Assembly.

The leaders of the far-flung National Rally Party immediately made it clear that they would not vote for them. Its chairman, Jordan Bardela, said that Bayor had declared “the end of his government” and the leader Marine Le Penn said that only by dissolving Parliament, he would allow France to choose his fate.

Communists, ecological and radical-left France said they would vote against the government and then socialist leader Olivier Fore appeared to seal the fate of Bayor, when he told the Monde newspaper that “it is unable to vote for Socialist Francois Bayru”.

“We are not looking for anarchy with the aim of intensifying the election calendar,” said Fore. “This is François Bairo who blames for political instability by proposing a budget that no one supports, not even his voters.”

As long as Bayor cannot change his mind, he is less likely to survive. The Finance Minister said that there was a place to negotiate but was very firm in cutting the budget till € 44BN.

Bayrou’s budget plans also include two French national holiday cuts, so there may be some scope for the government to move forward.

The ministerial colleagues, who were given very little notice on Monday of the decision to call Vishwas’s vote on 8 September, praised his move.

Justice Minister Gerald Daramanin told French TV on Tuesday that the Prime Minister’s move was “very courageous .. and very democratic”.

If the government collapses, President Macron is either an option to leave Bairo as the head of a caretaker government, naming another Prime Minister or calling new elections.

Bayer made his announcement after meeting the President during his holiday in Fort Braganconkon in the south of France, so Macron was given full information on the Prime Minister’s plans.

Macron himself has refused to resign, and his term is going to continue till 2027, although it was his decision to call Snap elections in 2024, which France made France with a minority government centi and right -wing Republican.
