Barnier is due to present President Emmanuel Macron with his government\u2019s resignation on Thursday morning. The president would address the nation on Thursday evening, the Elys\u00e9e said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you that it will remain an honour for me to have served France and the French with dignity,\u201d Barnier said in his final speech before the vote. \u201cThis no-confidence motion \u2026 will make everything more serious and more difficult. That\u2019s what I\u2019m sure of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barnier\u2019s defenestration comes after snap parliamentary elections this summer, which resulted in a hung parliament with no party having an overall majority and the far right holding the key to the government\u2019s survival. Macron has the unenviable task of picking a viable successor with over two years of his presidential term left, with some \u2013 though not all \u2013 opponents calling on him to resign. The fragmented parliament will remain unchanged as no new legislative elections can be held until at least July.<\/p>\n<p>The no-confidence motion, brought by the hard left in the National Assembly, came amid a standoff over next year\u2019s austerity budget, after the prime minister on Monday forced through a social security financing bill without a vote. With the crucial support of Marine Le Pen\u2019s far-right National Rally, a majority of 331 MPs in the 577-member chamber voted to oust the government.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on TF1 television after the vote, the National Rally leader, Marine Le Pen, said \u201cwe had a choice to make, and our choice is to protect the French\u201d from a \u201ctoxic\u201d budget. Le Pen also accused Macron of being \u201clargely responsible for the current situation\u201d, adding that \u201cthe pressure on the president of the Republic will get stronger and stronger\u201d. It was the first successful no-confidence vote since a defeat for Georges Pompidou\u2019s government in 1962, when Charles de Gaulle was president.<\/p>\n<p>Macron flew back into Paris just ahead of the vote after wrapping up a three-day state visit to Saudi Arabia, an apparent world away from the domestic crisis. He strolled earlier on Wednesday through the desert sands of the Al-Ula oasis, marvelling at ancient landmarks. After landing in Paris, he headed directly to the \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace. \u201cWe are now calling on Macron to go,\u201d Mathilde Panot, head of the parliamentary faction of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party, told reporters, urging \u201cearly presidential elections\u201d to solve the deepening political crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/dec\/05\/french-pm-to-resign-after-government-falls-while-macron-seeks-solution-to-crisis\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/french-pm-to-resign-after-government-falls-while-macron-seeks-solution-to-crisis\/\">French PM to resign after government falls while Macron seeks solution to crisis<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[425,1931,958,3290,6643,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-crisis","tag-french","tag-government","tag-pm","tag-resign","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135868\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
