France’s Government seems to be on the brink of collapse. 

It looks likely to fall apart later this week after far-right and left-wing parties said they will vote for a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier.  

The move comes after Barnier pushed through the 2025 social security budget without a vote.  

France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that even if Barnier wins this vote, it’s only part of the battle, as he will still need to get the rest of the budget through. 

She says that if he loses, the Government falls, and the best-case scenario is financial and political uncertainty – which could impact the entire Eurozone.
