French PM Ousted in Historic No-Confidence Vote.

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier has resigned after losing a no-confidence vote in parliament, just three months into his term.

The motion, supported by both far-left and far-right lawmakers, passed with 331 votes, surpassing the required 288.

This marks the first time in over 60 years that a French government has been toppled by such a vote.

The political crisis stems from France's deeply divided parliament, split between President Emmanuel Macron's centrist allies, a left-wing coalition, and the far-right National Rally.

Barnier's unpopular austerity budget, aimed at reducing France's deficit, was a key factor in his downfall.

President Macron now faces the challenge of appointing a new prime minister who can navigate the fractured political landscape.

The upheaval raises concerns about France's economic stability and its impact on the European Union.
