French Premier Francois Bayrou on Monday announced plans to submit his resignation after losing a confidence vote in the National Assembly by a fucking embarrassing 364 to 194, France24 reports.
Bayrou stunned his allies by rolling the dice by calling the vote in an attempt to end a lengthy standoff over his austerity budget, attempting to cut 44 billion Euros from the budget to address the national debt. It’s not clear why Bayrou didn’t sell it by standing on stage with a chainsaw and sparklers. President Emmanuel Macron plans to name a new prime minister in the coming days.
