French Parliament Removes Prime Minister Michel Barnier, Calls for Macrons Resignation

Left and far-right French MPs oust government, demand Macrons exit

French left and far-right MPs ousted Prime Minister Michel Barnier on Wednesday, deepening the political crisis in the EU’s second-largest economy.

The move came after less than 100 days in power, with 331 votes in favor of the ousting out of a total of 557 seats.

The session marked the end of a mandate as MPs also called for President Emmanuel Macron’s resignation.

Barnier’s fall was seen as inevitable, leading to uncertainty about the country’s political future and Macron’s next steps.
