The prospects of French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou's minority government surviving in the long term appeared slimmer after the Socialist Party raised the threat of backing a no-confidence vote on Thursday.

The article discusses the political turmoil in France where Prime Minister Francois Bayrou is facing a significant challenge due to the Socialist Party's threat to support a no-confidence vote against him. This threat comes in the wake of a controversial labor reform bill that has sparked widespread protests and strikes across the country. The bill, which aims to make it easier for companies to hire and fire employees, has been met with fierce opposition from unions and left-wing parties. The Socialists, who previously abstained from such votes, are now considering backing the no-confidence motion, potentially destabilizing Bayrou's government. This situation has weakened Bayrou's position, as he struggles to maintain support for his economic reforms amidst growing public discontent and political opposition.
