Home World Over 50% of French people want government to fall 28-11-2024 11:11 AM Ammon News - Some 53% of French people want Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government to fall due to anger over his proposed budget, according to an Ifop-Fiducial poll for Sud Radio published on Thursday. The poll indicated that 67% opposed Barnier's budget, which aims to cut France's spiralling public deficit through 60 billion euros ($63 billion) in tax hikes and spending cuts, while 33% backed it. Barnier's government could fall before Christmas, and perhaps even by next week, if far-right and leftist foes force a no-confidence motion that he is likely to lose, according to a dozen sources from across the political spectrum. The findings in the Ifop-Fiducial poll were based on a survey of 1,006 people carried out on Nov. 26 and Nov. 27. In an Elabe poll for BFM TV on Wednesday, 63% of those surveyed said President Emmanuel Macron should resign if Barnier's government fell. ($1 = 0.9457 euros) Reuters
