15:58⇢Bayrou's Confidence Facing United Opposition
⌨French media reports extensively on Prime Minister François Bayrou's announcement that he will seek a vote of confidence on September 8th for his 2026 austerity budget (BFMTV, Le Point, L'Obs, Le Parisien, Les Echos). Following his press conference, major opposition parties, including the RN, LFI, Ecologists, and PC, have declared they will vote against the government, escalating the political challenge (Le Figaro, Le Monde, L'Express, Libération). This comes amidst Bayrou's warnings of "immediate danger" and over-indebtedness.
