Political uncertainty is again looming in France after Prime Minister Francois Bayrou warned he will use special executive powers this week to get his budget approved without a vote in parliament.

The vote clears the way for final approval of France’s 2025 budget, easing concerns about the country’s political turmoil — but not ending them.
