December 04, (THEWILL) – The French National Assembly has sacked Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government, passing a no-confidence vote.
A total of 331 legislators of the 577-member parliament voted on Wednesday to remove Barnier’s centrist minority government.
The vote was called by far-left and hard-right opposition parties after Barnier used special powers to push through budget measures without a parliamentary vote.
Barnier’s government is France’s first to be toppled in a no-confidence vote in more than 60 years.
