On Monday, French Prime Minister Michel Barnier forced through his social security budget bill without a vote by MPs.
The PM controversially used his special powers to force the budget through without a single vote from MPs.
Opposition parties from the far right and the left are bringing no-confidence motions to be tabled this afternoon. His minority government is unlikely to survive the vote – but Barnier is remaining optimistic the motion might not pass.
The far-left party (LFI) and Marine Le Pen’s (far-right) party have both said they will support the motion.
If the no-confidence vote passes then President Macron will have to appoint a new head of government, whose parliamentary majority could again be uncertain.
