Egypt Daily News – French President Emmanuel Macron said that he asked resigned Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his government to continue acting until a new government is formed, French media reported.
Agence France-Presse reported that French Prime Minister Michel Barnier arrived at the Elysee Palace to present the resignation of his government to French President Emmanuel Macron.
France is suffering from political turmoil following Parliament’s vote of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
Media reports indicated that France, the second economic power in the euro zone, was subject to more political turmoil in the wake of Parliament’s vote of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier, as for the first time in 60 years, the National Assembly approved the predecessor chamber of the French Parliament, a memorandum of no confidence in the government. .
Reports showed that the no-confidence step comes at a time when the country is struggling to control a huge budget deficit, and the no-confidence step, which was supported by 331 deputies out of 577 members, much more than the required majority, has put President Emmanuel Macron back in front of a political dilemma to choose a new ministry in the country.
The political situation has remained turbulent since his call for early legislative elections last June.
The President Macron is scheduled to work immediately to find a new prime minister amid an almost impossible political equation between three competing blocs, and any new prime minister will face the same challenges that Barnier faced in approving legislation and a budget in Parliament.
