Why Michel Barnier was ousted as French prime minister just after 91 days

^{Published on 2024-12-05 10:00:41 - Brian Stokes, N@N}

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier has overwhelmingly been voted out of power by lawmakers over his controversial budget. The 73-year-old now has the dubious honour of being the shortest-serving PM since the Fifth Republic,

The article from FirstPost discusses the political turmoil in France, focusing on the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, who has been in office for just 91 days, making her potentially the shortest-serving French PM since 1958 if ousted. This situation arose after President Emmanuel Macron's decision to push through a pension reform without a parliamentary vote, sparking widespread protests and political opposition. The reform aims to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. Despite the controversy, Macron has stood firm on the reform, leading to two no-confidence motions from opposition parties. The article also mentions historical context, noting that Michel Debré, the first PM of the Fifth Republic, served for 107 days, and compares Borne's tenure to other short-lived PMs. The outcome of the no-confidence votes could significantly impact Macron's presidency and the political landscape in France.
