France’s Bayrou survives first no-confidence vote

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou survived an initial no-confidence vote in the National Assembly on Wednesday.

National Assembly President Yael Braun-Pivet said that only 128 deputies voted in favour of the motion, well below the 288 needed to get the motion through.

Far-left lawmakers introduced two no-confidence motions against Bayrou after he triggered Article 49.3, which allows the prime minister to adopt legislation without a parliamentary vote, to force the 2025 budget through.
