The no-confidence vote against the French prime minister is a high-stakes gamble for far-right leader Marine Le Pen.

Some say she dare not disappoint her base, others that she needs an election before her potentially disqualifying trial

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen appears to be betting her future on ousting President Emmanuel Macron before his term ends in 2027, lawmakers and analysts say. To do so, she has helped trigger France's second political crisis in six months.

The far-right leader holds the fate of the country’s government in her hands, as a battle royal over the national budget reaches its denouement and investor anxieties rise.

Good morning. Marine Le Pen’s party pledges to topple the French government. How a billionaire’s “baby project” ensnared dozens of women. And the white sands and azure waters of St. Tropez are a luxury hotel brand’s next target.
