29.08.2025The day of post-Bayrou government planning and budget mobilization
French media extensively covered Prime Minister Bayrou's precarious position ahead of the September 8th confidence vote. Early in the day, Bayrou clarified his "boomers" remarks while facing criticism for a "failed gamble," and later campaigned at the Châlons fair, emphasizing the national debt. A significant development was the inter-union's call for a national mobilization, including strikes and demonstrations, on September 18th against the budget. The Socialist Party confirmed its intention to vote against Bayrou, and by the afternoon, was openly planning a "post-Bayrou" counter-budget. Concurrently, President Macron firmly reaffirmed his intention to complete his mandate, dismissing notions of resignation or dissolution, and urged parties to find budget agreements, while also defending his critical remarks about Vladimir Putin which drew Russian condemnation. Reports of Bayrou's office renovation amidst austerity fueled further political debate.
