What seemed like a foregone conclusion is now confirmed - French PM Barnier just lost a no-confidence vote (with 331 votes - 288 was needed) forcing his government's resignation and Macron to appoint a new premier. The debate before the vote was lively with RN's Le Pen blasting Barnier's budget and making it clear he was dead in the water. “It’s the end of this ephemeral government,” Le Pen declares. Much of her comments are focused on taxes in Barnier’s budget, saying it was "all about taxes, taxes and more taxes." https://www.zerohedge.com/political/le-pen-declares-end-ephemeral-government-french-pm-barnier-loses-confidence-vote
