FRANCE – France has been plunged into a new political crisis with the defeat of Prime Minister Francois Bayrou at a confidence vote in the National Assembly.

The no confidence defeat, by 364 votes to 194, means that Bayrou will present his government’s resignation to President Emmanuel Macron tomorrow.

Bayrou’s fall came after he staked his government on an emergency confidence debate centred on the question of French debt.

The president must now decide how to replace him.

Macron’s office said this would happen “in the coming days”.

France is now en route to getting its 5th prime minister in less than 2 years.
