French lawmakers oust Barnier government in no-confidence vote

The government of French Prime Minister Michel Barnier fell on Wednesday after losing a confidence motion in the country's National Assembly.

A total of 331 lawmakers in the lower house of French Parliament voted against the government, far exceeding the minimum of 288 needed to remove Barnier's minority administration.

This was the first time a French government fell by a no-confidence motion since 1962.
