In absolute terms, France’s debt stood at over 3.2 trillion euros at the end of June, having risen by about one trillion since Macron took power in 2017.

If the opposition parties in parliament come out against the budget draft law, the government has the option of forcing it through without a vote under Article 49.3 of the French constitution.

But this would open the door to another vote of no confidence, putting Barnier at the mercy of the opposition yet again.
