First on the agenda, as expected, is today in all French newspapers the fall of the Barnier government after the proposal for impeachment by Melanson’s Popular Front and Le Pen’s Front National, with the Economist leading the charge.
“I came, I saw, I was fired,” says Liberation with a photo of Barnier, while Le Figaro points out the historic nature of the result of yesterday’s vote in the French National Assembly.
Michel Barnier censuré : veni, vidi, viré. C’est la une de @Libe jeudi.
Par 331 voix, les députés ont renversé le gouvernement, une première depuis 1962. Plus fragilisé que jamais, Emmanuel Macron doit trouver, au plus vite, une réponse à la crise. pic.twitter.com/cxujzdKuMR

For its part, Les Echos points to “the alliance of extremes” that led to the fall of the Barnier government by the votes of the left-wing and far-right parties in the French National Assembly.
L’Humanité chooses to frame Emmanuel Macron, rather than Michel Barnier, in anticipation of the French president’s speech at 9pm tonight.

A similar choice from Le Parisien, which focuses on the “great political uncertainty” for France, asking the question “who will be the next prime minister?”
Quelle honte ce titre ! Quelle maladresse de la part de cette rédaction du @le_Parisien ! Titre méprisant pour ces électeurs les lecteurs du @le_Parisien ! Ce journal populaire qui humilie ses lecteurs ! La Bêtise personnifiée ! pic.twitter.com/oJZWys68FK

Finally, La Croix uses the term “a losing bet” for Mr Barnier, adding that “France faces the risk of destabilisation”.
