Bloomberg: France Plunges Deeper Into Crisis After Macron’s Premier Ousted

05 December 2024

President Macron will make a statement on Thursday at 8 p.m.; Macron will need to name a new premier in a divided parliament

Emmanuel Macron is looking for a new prime minister on Thursday after the far right joined forces with the left to push through a no-confidence motion against his government over a budget dispute.

The French president needs to find a premier who can pass a 2025 budget through a deeply divided parliament.

But any new leader will face the same financial squeeze that brought down Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s administration.
