Barnier voted out in no-confidence motion: Three charts to explain France’s political uncertainty

The Hindu  

France’s current crisis is the second in only six months when French president Emmanuel Macron called a snap election in July to reiterate his government’s strength. Selecting the Prime Minister Since no party won a majority, Mr. Macron had to find a candidate who can withstand no-confidence motions in the future by garnering enough support. After negotiations across the board with both left and right parties, Mr. Macron appointed Michel Barnier, a moderate right-wing politician, as Prime Minister with tentative support from National Rally amidst protest from the NFP alliance. In this context, Mr. Barnier proposed a budget that would cut €60 billion in spending and increase taxes in a bid to tackle the country’s deficit problem. In response, the party’s leader Marine Le Pen voted in support of the no-confidence motion moved by the left parties.
