Executive summary
Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government fell after just three months, ousted by a no-confidence vote uniting hard-right and left-wing blocs, highlighting deep divisions in the National Assembly and Macron’s fragile leadership.
Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Unbowed continue to gain influence, eroding centrist authority and reflecting broader European populist trends.
Without a 2025 budget, France faces prolonged discal challenges, with a provisional 2024 budget likely extended; political instability undermines trust and strengthens populist rhetoric ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
