French Prime Minister Michel Barnier has submitted his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron. He will continue to perform his duties until a successor is appointed, according to BFMTV.
The French President has accepted Prime Minister Barnier's resignation. However, the Prime Minister will remain responsible for current affairs until his successor is appointed.
Situation in France
Yesterday, December 4, the French Parliament passed a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government. Following this, the ministers were dismissed.
More details on what led to the resignation of the French government and what to expect next can be found in the RBC-Ukraine material.
Notably, late last month, Politico reported that France was on the verge of a political crisis. The reason for this was allegedly the minority government led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, which risked losing the confidence of the Parliament.
