France’s parliament toppled the government on Monday after rejecting its plan to rein in the country’s soaring national debt, intensifying a political crisis that is destabilizing the eurozone’s second-largest economy.
Lawmakers voted to remove Prime Minister François Bayrou and his minority government by a margin of 364 to 194, ending the tenure of the veteran centrist leader.
President Emmanuel Macron, under growing pressure from opposition parties to dissolve parliament and step down himself, now faces the task of appointing his fifth prime minister in under two years. The Élysée Palace announced that a successor will be named in the coming days.
