Government overthrow in France

by Anja Czymmeck, Max Willem Fricke, Nele Katharina Wissmann

Germany's closest partner in the crisis

The vote on the 2025 budget proved to be a stumbling block for Michel Barnier's government. With 331 out of 577 votes (289 were required), the Barnier government was overthrown by a motion of no confidence from the left-wing alliance New Popular Front (NFP), which was supported by the right-wing populist Rassemblement National (RN). Prime Minister Barnier had tried until the very end, including in a television interview the evening before, to convince politicians and compatriots that the fall of the government would plunge France into chaos. With the end of the government, France is facing a seemingly insurmountable stalemate that could have lasting consequences for France and Europe against the backdrop of high national debt.
