The French Prime Minister calls for a confidence vote on the budget issue on September 8.

Jin10 data reported on August 25 that French Prime Minister Borne announced a confidence vote to be held on September 8, aimed at forcing all parties to express their stance on the government's budget proposal through parliamentary procedures rather than through street protests planned for later this week. Borne stated at a press conference in Paris on Monday that French President Macron has agreed to convene a parliamentary session early to review the government's financial plan and conduct a confidence vote. Borne is currently facing resistance to a plan to cut spending and raise taxes by €44 billion (approximately $51 billion), which he believes is crucial to avoid a public finance crisis in France—this includes the cancellation of two public holidays in France.
