Pension reform in France, Macron's government faces a vote of no confidence

The French government will face two no-confidence votes as the fallout from its controversial pension reform continues.

Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne used constitutional article 49:3 to delay the bill without a vote last week, the BBC reports . Since then, thousands of citizens have taken to the streets of France in protest.

Motions of no confidence have been filed in parliament by deputies from the center and the far-right National Rally. If the no-confidence motions succeed, President Emmanuel Macron would not be in danger of losing his job, but the positions of Borne and the government would be.

Macron can either appoint a new government or dissolve the National Assembly and call new elections. The pension reform bill would also be cancelled.

If the no-confidence motions are unsuccessful, the bill to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 will become law.
