French Prime Minister François Bayrou delivered an emotional farewell defending his "honourable and active" government before losing a dramatic confidence vote, becoming Macron's fourth PM in under two years. Bayrou fell amid mounting pressure to address France's soaring deficit and escalating debt crisis. Opposition lawmakers demanded President Macron's resignation, accusing him of ignoring public will. The political upheaval leaves France in unprecedented turmoil with the European Union watching developments closely. Critical questions emerge about Macron's next appointment and whether his presidency can weather this constitutional storm. France faces a deepening governance crisis as successive governments collapse under economic pressures and parliamentary deadlock, threatening the nation's stability and international standing.
