French Government Faces Two Votes of No Confidence

Published January 14, 2026, 14:01

The French government is facing two new votes of no confidence submitted by the far-right National Rally and the radical left La France Insoumise. These motions concern the EU's approval of the trade agreement with MERCOSUR countries, despite France's opposition. However, the chances of the votes of no confidence passing are considered slim, as the Socialist and Republican parties have already expressed their refusal to support them. The submission of the motions is a political opposition move, but is not expected to lead to the government's fall.
