The French Parliament expressed a vote of no confidence in the government, it resigned

Michel Barnier's minority government became the shortest-lived government of the Fifth Republic, losing a vote of no confidence in parliament.

It became the first government since 1962 to be dismissed in this manner. About this on Wednesday, December 4 reports The Guardian. 331 MPs voted in favor of the proposal presented by the left-wing NFP alliance – a majority of 288 votes was required to dismiss the government.

Barnier, a veteran Conservative who served as prime minister for just three months, is now forced to hand in his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron, as well as his government.

The result deepens the political crisis in France and is a serious blow to EU at a time when Germany is also mired in a parliamentary election campaign that will last until February and weeks before Donald Trump returns to the White House.
