Macron Defiant as No-Confidence Votes Loom Over Fragile Government

                                           French President Emmanuel Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected calls to resign, even as his newly formed government faces two looming no-confidence motions that could topple it within days.

France is grappling with deep divisions in its legislature, split across three ideological blocs, making it increasingly difficult for any government to secure stable support.

For now, Macron remains firm, insisting that he will not step down, even as the fate of his government could be decided by the end of the week.
