Impeachment proceedings are barreling ahead, with the vote to get the LFI-led resolution out of the National Assembly’s political bureau winning. If the resolution gets to the Assembly floor, it’ll be the first time in the history of the Vth Republic that impeachment is voted on against a president.
Michel Barnier’s government is starting to take shape - and he’s got the same economic adviser as Gabriel Attal did. And Elisabeth Borne did.
Plus, a former Prime Minister’s name is circulating as the potential next Foreign Minister of France.
And even more: the Prime Minister’s office is still refusing to communicate budget planning documents to the opposition-led Finance Commission in the National Assembly. Tomorrow, their leaders promise to head to the Economy Ministry to get the documents.
