Macron’s Government is set for a no confidence vote as French lawmakers have put together a joint statement filing a motion of no confidence against Macron’s government, AFP reports.
Leaders André Chassaigne, of the French Communist Party; Olivier Faure, from the Socialist Party; and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of France Unbowed (La France Insoumise) movement joined 59 members of the National Assembly said in a statement that the placative measures announced on Monday by Macron, including a minimum wage increase, tax-free overtime pay and end of the year bonuses, were “neither fair nor responsible” and “are not likely to respond to the anger and demands of the French”.
“Yellow Vests” spokesman Benjamin Cauchy was quoted by French news BFM saying that the movement wasn’t satisfied with Macron’s tax cuts and wage rises: “The French don’t want crumbs, they want a baguette.”
