PARIS (Reuters) – The French centre-left Socialist party will not back no-confidence motions against Prime Minister Francois Bayrou’s government, French TV BFM said on Monday, citing an intra-party meeting.

French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou has said he will use special constitutional powers to pass the 2025 budget later on Monday, triggering a crucial no-confidence vote on Wednesday.
