PARIS - French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou survived a third no-confidence vote in the French National Assembly on Wednesday over the 2025 social security financing bill.

According to results announced by National Assembly Speaker Yael Braun-Pivet, 121 out of 577 deputies voted in favor of ousting Bayrou after he activated the special constitutional power of passing a bill without the National Assembly's green light. A no-confidence vote needs at least 289 votes in the National Assembly.
