François Bayrou, Prime Minister of France, faces mounting political pressure amid the 2026 budget discussions and threats of a government censure. Bayrou held a press conference to review summer parliamentary work and expressed willingness to discuss measures such as the proposed suppression of two public holidays, which has drawn criticism from both within his party, MoDem, and opposition deputies. The budget proposal has sparked strong reactions, with members of the Socialist Party, La France Insoumise (LFI), and Rassemblement National (RN) calling for Bayrou's departure or threatening a vote of no confidence. Éric Coquerel of LFI has stated with certainty that the Bayrou government will be censured, while other opposition figures like Arthur Delaporte and Philippe Brun have criticized Bayrou's leadership and the government's dissolution as unreasonable. Some deputies, including Laurent Baumel and Philippe Schreck from RN, have condemned the censure motion as undesirable, urging reconsideration. Meanwhile, Bayrou faces accusations of lacking dialogue and political maneuvering space, with some viewing his position as precarious. The political climate remains tense as the government prepares to defend its budgetary austerity plans in the upcoming parliamentary session.
