In a surprising turn of events, France's government was toppled after lawmakers overwhelmingly voted against Prime Minister François Bayrou during a confidence vote on Monday.
The outcome, with a 364-194 tally, marked a dramatic shift as the legislators seized the opportunity to challenge Bayrou's fiscal strategies.
This political upheaval now leaves President Emmanuel Macron searching for a fourth prime minister in just 12 months, amidst growing domestic and international pressures.
