No-confidence motion against the 49.3 - Paris AJ

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou pats Eric Coquerel on the shoulder ahead a vote on a no-confidence motion against the 49.3 of France's Prime Minister Francois Bayrou to adopt the state budget bill for 2025 without a vote, at the National Assembly, France's lower house parliament, in Paris, France on February 5, 2025 in the room of the 4 columns at the national assembly. Following his use of the 49.3 on the 2025 budget plans, François Bayrou faces two new non-confidence motions on February 5, 2025, both of which are doomed to failure, as the government promises to reform the state and introduce measures of “order and authority” once the budget sequence is over.
