Michel Barnier invoked a rare constitutional power to push through his budget without parliament’s approval.

The prime minister invoked Article 49.3 to force through a contentious new social security budget.

The budget is controversial among both the Left and Right-wing parties in France .

Mr Barnier had hoped to force his budget through parliament after making concessions.

But the concessions were not enough for either the New Popular Front or the RN alliance.
