Prime Minister Michel Barnier is bracing for a no-confidence vote this week , a political reckoning almost certain to topple his government.

Barnier invoked a rarely used constitutional mechanism to push through the contentious 2025 budget without parliamentary approval.

Opposition leaders argue that Barnier’s concessions, including scrapping an electricity tax hike, do not go far enough to address their concerns.
