France's Prime Minister Michel Barnier said it is possible his government may survive
00:07
a looming no-confidence vote.
00:10
He said it depends on the country's MPs, who he said had a responsibility to the French
00:14
people during what he described as a serious period in the country's history.
00:20
I think it is possible that there is this reflex of responsibility where, beyond the political
00:26
differences, the divergences, the normal contradictions in a democracy, we say that there is a higher
00:31
interest.
00:32
I think that the country's higher interest, the common good, the national interest, means
00:36
something.
00:37
Barnier faces the no-confidence vote after pushing through a controversial social budget
00:42
bill.
00:43
Opposition leaders say adjustments to the bill don't delay their concerns and pushed
00:48
for a no-confidence vote.
00:49
To bring down the government, 288 MPs need to vote in agreement.
00:54
This is possible if both the left and right wing of the National Assembly unite in a majority
00:59
vote.
01:00
French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly brushed aside the possibility of Barnier's
01:04
resignation, describing calls for him to do so as a political fiction.
