No-confidence vote expected to apply coup de grace for Barnier's government

The article from MSN discusses the political turmoil in France, focusing on the expected no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne's government. This vote comes in the wake of President Emmanuel Macron's decision to bypass parliament to pass a controversial pension reform, which has led to widespread protests and strikes. The opposition, including a broad coalition from the far-left to the far-right, has initiated this no-confidence motion, aiming to topple Borne's administration. The article highlights the potential outcomes: if the motion passes, it would lead to the government's resignation, but if it fails, Borne might still face pressure to resign due to the ongoing unrest and her perceived inability to manage the crisis effectively. The situation underscores the deep divisions in French politics and the significant public discontent with the pension reform, which raises the retirement age from 62 to 64.
