France’s prime minister has failed in a last-minute bid to save his job, with the country’s National Assembly ousting him in a confidence vote.
Francois Bayrou – who entered office just nine months ago – is required to submit the resignation of his minority government after losing Monday afternoon’s vote.
Earlier in the day, Mr Bayrou called for unity as he attempted to win support for his both his premiership and his ambitious plan to curb France’s public spending.
Arguing the country’s spiralling public deficits are threatening the future of the European Union’s second-largest economy, Mr Bayrou said state debts will weigh on future generations and leave France vulnerable to foreign creditors.
