The French government survived a vote of no confidence in parliament.

On October 9, local time, the France National Assembly voted on a motion of no confidence in the government led by Prime Minister Barnier, but the vote was not passed. The National Assembly of France has a total of 577 seats. In the day’s vote, 197 MPs supported the no-confidence motion, failing to reach the minimum of 289 votes required for its passage. On the 4th of this month, 192 left-wing members of the National Assembly submitted a motion of no confidence in the government. They oppose the Barnier government’s policies related to taxation and other related policies, and consider the appointment of Barnier as prime minister a “negation” of the results of the National Assembly elections.
