Someone has a sticker reading 'Let's pull out Macron and the 5th Republic'. In Toulouse, France, on September 8, 2025, as elsewhere in France, people gather for a 'goodbye party Bayrou'. Some 150 to 200 people take part in Toulouse for this goodbye party. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou announces a few weeks ago he will try a confidence vote at the National Assembly due to the opposition to his projected budget for FY2026. On September 8, Francois Bayrou loses the confidence vote at the National Assembly, with 194 for and 364 against. Thus, he and his government must submit their resignations to French President Emmanuel Macron.
