In a surprising political twist, France's far-right National Rally party has decided against supporting a no-confidence motion on PM Bayrou's controversial budget.
France's Prime Minister Francois Bayrou attends a French parliamentary session on the 2025 finance bill, and the social security budget at The National Assembly.France's main far-right party does not intend to back a no-confidence motion against Francois Bayrou over a cost-cutting budget, its president said Tuesday, in a boost to the prime minister.
On Monday, Bayrou rammed through budget legislation using article 49.3 of the constitution, which allows the government to pass laws without a vote.Jordan Bardella, president of the far-right National Rally , said his party did not intend to back the motion, though it would take its final decision on Wednesday, when the vote is expected."We need to avoid uncertainty because many of our fellow citizens... are extremely worried about possible long-term instability," he said.
Even if the RN did change its mind, Bayrou appears certain to keep his job for now, after the Socialist Party decided on Monday against backing the motion. A sustainable budget plan for this year is the priority for Bayrou, after the austerity budget plan of his predecessor, Michel Barnier, was jettisoned along with his government in December.
