TL;DR

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier is expected to lose a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly, leading to the collapse of his government. Barnier, appointed by President Emmanuel Macron just 90 days ago, used special powers to pass the 2025 budget without parliamentary support, angering both the left-wing New Popular Front and the far-right National Rally. With both factions set to vote against him, Barnier's government is unlikely to survive. If the vote passes, Macron will need to appoint a new prime minister, a process that could take weeks.
