Why has the French PM had to go and what happens next?

Why has the French PM had to go and what happens next?

The French Prime Minister has lost a confidence vote in the National Assembly, leading to his resignation and triggering a period of political uncertainty in the country. This follows a series of policy disagreements and a failure to secure a stable parliamentary majority for the government's agenda. The loss of the confidence vote means the Prime Minister must step down, and a new government will need to be formed. This could involve the appointment of a new Prime Minister, or even the dissolution of the National Assembly and the calling of early elections. The political turmoil comes at a critical time for France, as the country grapples with economic challenges and global geopolitical tensions. The outcome of the transition will be closely watched, as it could have significant implications for the direction of French policy and its role in the European Union.
