  The French government was toppled Wednesday after far-left and far-right lawmakers joined forces to pass a no-confidence measure against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his cabinet.

The French government faced a significant political upheaval when Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne's administration was toppled by a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly. This vote was initiated by opposition parties following Borne's decision to bypass a parliamentary vote on a controversial immigration bill, which aimed to expedite the deportation of certain foreigners and complicate the process for migrants to bring family members to France. The bill had already stirred considerable debate and division within President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance. The no-confidence motion, supported by a diverse coalition including the far-right National Rally and the left-wing France Unbowed, passed with 278 votes in the 577-seat assembly, just nine votes short of the absolute majority needed to oust the government. This event marks a rare instance of a successful no-confidence vote in France, reflecting deep political fractures and public discontent over immigration policies.
