On December 5th, local time on December 4th, the French National Assembly voted to pass a motion of no confidence in the current government. The French government is facing another reshuffle. According to the French constitution, Prime Minister Barnier will submit his resignation to the president on behalf of the government. On the 2nd of this month, Barnier bypassed the National Assembly and forced the passage of a social security bill, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from far-right and left-wing parties. The far-right National Union and the left-wing party alliance "New Popular Front" both submitted a motion of no confidence in Barnier's government. The French National Assembly debated the motion of no confidence in the government before voting on the afternoon of the 4th.
