The French Prime Minister will face a vote of confidence on September 8th over his austerity plan.

For his unpopular €44 billion savings plan in the 2026 budget.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou will submit his unpopular €44 billion ($51.44 billion) savings plan for the 2026 budget to Parliament on September 8th with a vote of confidence organized before the first major protest called for the 10th, according to Efe.

If the Prime Minister fails to pass the vote of confidence in the National Assembly, which is bringing forward its sessions originally scheduled to resume on September 22 to that day, he would be forced to resign, leading to a new government crisis .

Bayrou, who appeared at a press conference on Monday, insisted that "clarification" is needed regarding the budget situation and how to correct it, and that the place to do so is "parliament," not "in the unrest on the streets."
