YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou lost a confidence motion in parliament, forcing a third change in government in just over a year and reviving uncertainty over how the country can tackle its mounting debt burden.

Parties across the political spectrum in France’s lower house joined forces Monday to overwhelmingly issue the rebuke to Bayrou, who called the motion in a failed attempt to rally support for his unpopular budget reforms. Just 194 lawmakers voted in support of the prime minister and 364 voted against.  Kathryn Kleppinger, Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies and International Affairs at George Washington University joins to discuss the future for President Macron's party.
