  French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou used special executive powers Monday to get the country's 2025 budget approved without a vote by lawmakers, and now faces a no-confidence motion that threatens the survival of his 6-week-old government.

The French government is currently grappling with significant political challenges as it attempts to pass the 2025 budget. Following President Emmanuel Macron's decision to call for snap elections after his party's poor performance in the European Parliament elections, the political landscape has become highly unstable. The budget, which includes plans to reduce France's deficit to meet EU fiscal rules, is now at risk due to the potential rise of far-right and left-wing parties. These parties, particularly the National Rally (RN) and the New Popular Front, have proposed policies that could increase public spending, potentially clashing with the budget's austerity measures. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has warned that a victory for these parties could lead to financial instability, with the possibility of France facing a financial crisis similar to the UK's in 2022. The outcome of the upcoming elections will critically influence the budget's fate, with potential shifts in policy direction depending on which coalition gains power.
