French Government Toppled In Historic No-Confidence Vote

5 weeks ago French opposition lawmakers toppled the government down on Wednesday (December 4), after a majority of far-right and left-wing lawmakers joined forces to back a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his government.

The no-confidence motion passed with a majority of 331 votes in support of the motion.

The ousting of the Barnier government deepens the country's political crisis and challenges Macron to pick a successor with over two years of his presidential term left.
