French premier to seek confidence vote in September
French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou announced Monday that he will ask for a confidence vote from the parliament in September as he aims to make savings of nearly €44 billion ($51 billion) in the 2026 budget.
Addressing a news conference, Bayrou said he has asked the president, who agreed, to convene Parliament in an extraordinary session on Sept. 8. His government now faces a risk of collapse if they don't have the majority backing the confidence vote.
