US EditionFrance's Socialists submit no-confidence bill amid pensions dispute, weakening Bayrou
- Following the collapse of pension negotiations, France's Socialist Party submitted a motion of no confidence targeting Prime Minister Francois Bayrou on Tuesday.
- The collapse came after several months of intense discussions between labor groups and business representatives aimed at revising the contentious 2023 pension reform that raises the retirement age to 64.
- Bayrou is determined to find a resolution and has planned discussions with unions to tackle the pension financing shortfall, while the far-right faction has declined to support the no-confidence motion.
- Boris Vallaud stated that they are compelled to submit a motion of censure, while RN lawmaker Gaëtan Dussausaye noted that their party does not call for censure lightly, emphasizing that this is precisely the action the left is attempting to pursue.
- The failed talks weaken Bayrou's centrist government and raise the possibility that left-wing and far-right parties could act together to challenge his administration amid tougher budget talks ahead.
