  • France's prime minister must now tender his resignation and that of his government to President Emmanuel Macron.

The article from The Japan Times, published on December 5, 2024, discusses the political turmoil in France following a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's government. The vote was triggered by widespread public discontent over the government's handling of various crises, including economic issues and social unrest. Despite the opposition's efforts, the no-confidence motion failed, allowing Attal to retain his position. However, the close call has exposed deep divisions within the French parliament and raised questions about the stability of the current administration. Critics argue that the government's inability to address key public concerns has led to a loss of trust, while supporters of Attal believe that the vote reflects more on the opposition's tactics than on the government's performance. The situation has left France at a political crossroads, with potential implications for future policy-making and governance.
