French Government Survives First Confidence Vote on Pension Bill
, Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) -- The French government survived the first of two no-confidence motions on Monday after it pushed through President Emmanuel Macron’s unpopular pension reform bill without holding a full vote in parliament.
The motion won the backing of 278 lawmakers in the National Assembly, nine short of the 287 needed to topple Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.
The result of a second no-confidence vote is expected shortly.
