PARIS: France's parliament rejected a no-confidence motion Tuesday against the government after it failed to secure enough votes. The motion, put forward last week by 192 deputies from the left-wing alliance the New Popular Front (NPF) against Prime Minister Michel Barnier's center-right government, was discussed in the parliament's General Assembly. It was rejected on the grounds that it did not reach a sufficient majority, with 197 lawmakers voting in favor, well short of the 289 votes that were needed. The far-right National Rally (RN) party, which has been accused by the left of being close to the ruling party, did not support the motion. Source: Anadolu Agency
