French government set to fall in no-confidence vote
THE French government appears likely to fall tonight as the National Assembly is to hold a no-confidence vote.
The lower house of parliament’s largest coalition, the left-wing New Popular Front, and the biggest single party, the far-right National Rally, have both vowed to vote down Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s administration.
Its fall would plunge France into uncharted waters of political chaos.
