Three months after Michel Barnier got the job as Prime Minister of France, the French National Assembly voted no confidence in him, reports Reuters. The government was dependent on indirect support from Marine Le Pen and the National Assembly to survive. That support disappeared earlier this week. Thus, President Emmanuel Macron must start the search for a new prime minister, which is unlikely to be easy. It is the first time a motion of no confidence has won a majority in the National Assembly since Georges Pompidou’s government fell in 1962, while Charles de Gaulle was president of France, writes NTB.
