French opposition lawmakers brought the government down on December 4, throwing the European Union's second-biggest economic power deeper into a political crisis that threatens its capacity to legislate and rein in a massive budget deficit.

The French government faced a significant political upheaval when it was toppled by a no-confidence vote, intensifying the ongoing crisis. This event was triggered by widespread public discontent over President Emmanuel Macron's pension reform, which aimed to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. Despite the government's efforts to push through the reform, opposition parties, including a centrist group and the far-right National Rally, united in their opposition, leading to the successful no-confidence motion.

The situation has sparked protests across France, highlighting significant public and political division.
