French PM Barnier's future hangs by thread as budget plan backfires
Latest polls show most French citizens reject PM Barnierʼs new budget-cut plan and want government change. Political crisis deepens as opposition prepares no-confidence vote against cabinet
A recent poll shows that Michel Barnierʼs government faces strong push-back from French citizens‚ as most dont support his money-saving ideas. The Ifop-Fiducial survey (done with 1‚006 people) points that 53 pct want the cabinet gone
The main issue is Barnierʼs budget plan – a tough-to-swallow mix of tax bumps and cost-cuts worth 60-bil euros: two-thirds of French people say no to these ideas. Political insiders hint that the Prime-Minister might lose power soon through a no-trust vote‚ as far-right and left-wing groups team up
Another survey by Elabe for BFM TV brings more bad news: if Barnierʼs team falls‚ 63 pct think President Emmanuel Macron should step down too (which shows how deep this problem goes). The numbers paint a clear picture – French people want change in their governmentʼs money plans
The whole situation puts Barnier in a tough spot – his budget-fixing ideas arent working with voters‚ and time isnt on his side. Political experts say the government could fall before years end‚ with opposition groups ready to make their move
