French Prime Minister Michel Barnier
French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a vote of no confidence in his minority government after using special powers to push through a social security budget bill without a vote by MPs.
The government is unlikely to survive the vote, which was triggered Monday afternoon by the radical left France Unbowed opposition party and Marine le Pen's far-right National Rally.
It could take place as early as Wednesday.
Despite last-minute concessions, Barnier clearly did not think he would be able to get his budget bill over the line.
