His government did not secure a vote of confidence from the National Assembly. Francois Bayrou in France with the Eurozone's second largest economy now sinking into an even deeper political crisis.

The Bayrou government lost the vote of confidence as the overwhelming majority of the National Assembly (364 deputies) voted against it. The French government only received 194 votes in favor.

According to Article 50 of the French constitution, the prime minister must, after this result, submit the resignation of his government to the French president, Emmanuel Macron This will happen tomorrow, as reported by the French network BFMTV.

Scenarios for a new prime minister

Since the Bayrou government collapsed, what happens next is in the hands of the president, Emmanuel Macron, who has so far rejected the idea of calling new early elections Therefore, he will have to appoint a new prime minister.

The new prime minister could come from the center-left, after four center-right parties failed to survive in the divided parliament. Macron could also appoint a technocrat. There is no clear rule on who Macron must choose or how quickly he must do so. If it takes him time, Bayrou could stay on in an acting capacity.

The far-right party National Alarm and the left one Unsubdued France For their part, they are pushing for early parliamentary elections and for Macron to resign from the French presidency.

How we reached government collapse

Bayrou, Emmanuel Macron's fourth prime minister in less than two years , himself provoked the vote of confidence amid pressure to restore public finances. France's deficit last year was almost double the EU's 3% limit and public debt reached 113.9% of GDP.

You have the power to overthrow the government, but you do not have the power to erase reality, he warned the MPs from the floor of the House. Expenses will continue to increase and the burden of debt, already unbearable, will become heavier and more expensive.

The opposition responded successively from the podium that it rejects the way in which Bairu is attempting to deal with the debt and that it will vote against him, as it did.

OR Marine Le Pen, head of far-right National Alarm, spoke of the end of the government's agony and called on Macron to call new elections.

Mathilde Pano from left-wing Insubordinate France declared:"Today is a day of relief for millions of French people, of relief for your departure." She reiterated her party's call for Macron's ouster, although that prospect is considered highly unlikely. Dissolution is not a whim, it is an institutional tool to break the deadlock , he said, warning the president that if he doesn't stay off the ball, he will have to accept the consequences.

In the same spirit, the Socialist Boris Valo called on the president to appoint a prime minister from the Left.

On the contrary, the Laurent Vauquier of the Republicans who support the government warned that political instability is poison for the economy.
