French PM ousted in no-confidence vote

PARIS: The French parliament on Monday voted in favor of abolishing the prime minister without any confidence on plans to overcome debt, which led to President Emmanuel Macron facing the latest political uncertainty.

The 74 -year -old Francois Bero occupied the post of prime minister just nine months ago. With the financial markets on France’s political and financial crisis, Macon, Macron, has now faced powers to resign.

Bero urged the vote unexpectedly to try to seek parliament support for his strategy to reduce the deficit that doubles the European Union’s 3 % roof and begin to deal with a debt pile of 114 % of GDP.

But the opposition parties were in a lot of rally behind the savings of 44 billion euros ($ 51.51 billion) in next year’s budget, which was elected in 2027 for Macron’s successor.

Macron can now nominate a politician as the next Prime Minister from his own Central Minority Ruling Group or from the ranks of the Conservatives, but that will mean doubling the strategy that has failed to create a stable coalition.

He can compete with the left and nominate a moderate socialist, or choose a technocrat.

With any scenario, the next government will not be likely to be handed over to the parliamentary majority. Finance Minister Eric Lombard said before the vote that it was inevitable that the need to form a new government would reduce the deficit plan.

Macron may eventually decide on the only way out of the crisis, but it has yet to resist the right -right national rally and difficult left France’s calls, which is not ready to dissolve Parliament for the second time.

The next government’s most important task would be to approve the budget, the same challenge faced when Bayer took power.

“You have the power to bring down the government, but you do not have the power to eliminate the reality,” Bayero told lawmakers before the vote of confidence.

He said, “The reality will be restless: the costs will continue to increase, and the debt burden, which is already unbearable, will be heavy and more expensive.”

“France’s” survival is in danger, “he said.

The European Union’s allies will be watching closely.

France has the highest loss as a percentage of GDP in the euro zone – block using EU’s only currency. It pays more cost to its loan service than Spain, and the benchmark spreads against the German 10 -year bonds, which is at its highest level in four months.

Fitch, which is often seen as the first moving in the rating agencies, reviews its rating on September 12 with a negative view. Moody and S&P Global, which have equal ratings, follow in October and November.

A down grade French investors will hinder the ability to raise money at a lower interest rate, which will potentially deepe its debt problems.

Political and financial uncertainty is a long -term risk of damaging Macron’s influence in Europe when the United States is talking strongly on trade and security, and the European region is under war in Ukraine.

Two sources familiar with Macron’s thinking said that Macron and political figures of the Central and Conservative parties believe that the Snap elections will not resolve the crisis and that dialogue with the socialists should be pursued, two sources said Macron’s thinking.

Socialists have offered a anti -budget that will impose a minimum of 2 % tax on personal wealth over 100 million euros and save 22 billion euros, which will make it difficult to marry with Macron’s presidential business reform agenda.

Disaster can also start falling on the streets. A low -level protest movement called “Blockone Tout” (“Everything Block Every Thing”) is demanding a nationwide obstacle on Wednesday. Trade unions are planning a walkout after Saturday.

“It’s been France,” said Mohammad, 80, a retired hospital worker selling production in the Aleggar market in Paris.
