France Holds Confidence Vote On Prime Minister Francois Bayrou

PARIS, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 08: French Prime Minister François Bayrou addresses members of parliament before a non-confidence vote on September 08, 2025 in Paris, France. French MPs are debating a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Francois Bayrou in a decision that could have a significant impact on the country's political and financial stability. Bayrou called the vote last month in hopes of breaking a political deadlock over his proposed austerity budget, which includes the unpopular move of doing away with two public holidays as a cost-cutting measure to rescue the EU's second-largest economy.
