French lawmakers oust government in no-confidence vote

French lawmakers on Wednesday voted to oust the government of Prime Minister Michel Barnier after just three months in office in a move that deepens a political crisis in the country.

For the first time in over 60 years, the National Assembly approved a no-confidence motion against the incumbent government that had been proposed by the hard left but crucially backed by the far-right headed by Marine Le Pen.
