France’s Bayrou Plans to Call Confidence Vote Over Budget

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou plans to call a confidence vote on September 8 to secure support for his government's budget plan. This move comes as a surprise and has led to a selloff in domestic assets. Bayrou's decision to put his government's survival on the line is an attempt to force political parties to take a clear stance on the budget proposal. The confidence vote is a high-stakes move that could either strengthen Bayrou's position or lead to a political crisis, depending on the outcome. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the French government in implementing its economic policies and the potential for political instability in the country.
