French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Michel Barnier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new French government has failed its first major test, approving a budget on time by submitting it to a vote in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Michel Barnier instead invoked Article 49.3 of France\u2019s Constitution, which allowed him to push through the legislation \u2014 a social security spending bill \u2013 without a vote.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a very risky move, opening the door to a no-confidence motion this week that may well topple the government.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The New York Times<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prospect of a government collapse \u2014 and of a failure to pass a budget \u2014 has rattled financial markets, sharply increased France\u2019s borrowing costs, and further deepened the uncertainty that has gripped the country since snap elections last summer yielded no clear parliamentary majority.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. Barnier\u2019s move exposes his government to no-confidence motions \u2014 which both French left-wing parties and Marine Le Pen\u2019s far-right National Rally party quickly said they would file, with a vote expected as early as Wednesday.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Whatever will become of Barnier and of his cabinet now depends on the votes of the MPs.<\/p>\n

The government was appointed by President Emmanuel Macron a mere three months ago.<\/p>\n

Mr. Macron remains president even if the cabinet falls, but he will have to appoint a new prime minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Le Pen and Mr. Barnier, a veteran center-right politician, have engaged in a game of chicken over the past week. Ms. Le Pen dangled the threat of a no-confidence motion ever more vocally if Mr. Barnier did not accede to her demands on the budget. Mr. Barnier warned of \u2018serious turbulence on the financial markets\u2019 and the troubles ahead if the country reaches the new year without a budget \u2014 warnings that Ms. Le Pen has dismissed as fear-mongering and \u2018fake news\u2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Barnier made some concessions to the RN party, but not enough \u2013 so Le Pen\u2019s party will vote against the government on the no-confidence vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout enough votes to get bills through parliament on its own, Mr. Barnier\u2019s government has been forced to rely on the tacit support of the far right. But it has not wanted to cede too much either, since many government members were elected to block the far right from gaining power, Benjamin Morel, a lecturer in public law at Panth\u00e9on-Assas University in Paris, said.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Barnier had to cut the budget by $63 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to recent polls, the majority of French public opinion is opposed to passing an austerity budget requiring spending cuts and increased taxes, and a small majority wants the Barnier government to fall.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

If the absolute majority of lawmakers in the National Assembly supports the no-confidence motion, Barnier and his cabinet will have to resign, and Mr. Macron would have to appoint a new prime minister.<\/p>\n
