Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed his commitment to staying in office until the end of his term in 2027, despite the resignation of his chosen Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The latter was ousted by lawmakers in a no-confidence vote over his handling of a budget aimed at taming a wide deficit. Macron has rejected opposition calls for him to step down, instead placing blame on the left-wing and far-right factions that united to bring down Barnier's government. Macron has stated that he will name a new prime minister within days.
