In Paris, each and every government attempt to reach a budget agreement has failed miserably.

In Paris, each and every government attempt to reach a budget agreement has failed miserably.

France is still on the brink of bankruptcy, but Barnier’s budget wouldn’t have changed the game.

The Left demands Macron’s impeachment, while the Right calls for his resignation.

French National Assembly will decide on two motions of censure against the PM late this afternoon.

The RN blames the president for the present political crisis.

The fate of the PM and his administration could be sealed before the end of the week.

Barnier walks a political tightrope to avoid censure without appearing to give in to Rassemblement National’s demands.

More than ever, the life and death of the French government depend on the goodwill of Marine Le Pen’s party.

Some ‘right-wing’ MPs say life is not a cause worth defending.

If no majority support emerges in the Assembly, Michel Barnier may have to resort to overruling parliament.
