SHOTLIST: PARIS, FRANCE (SEPT. 9, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF TRAFFIC IN PARIS / TRAFFIC SIGNS 2. VARIOUS OF RAILWAYS AND TRAINSPARIS, FRANCE - SEPT. 9, 2025: Over 80,000 security personnel are set to be deployed in France nationwide in anticipation of large-scale demonstrations sparked by the government’s collapse. French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou officially submitted his resignation to President Macron on Tuesday, Sept. 9, after his government lost a confidence vote in parliament over 2026 budget plans. Bayrou, who had been in office since December 2024, tendered his resignation immediately after the National Assembly voted against his government in a confidence motion, making him the fourth French premier to be forced out since early 2024. Receiving 194 votes in support and 364 votes against, Bayrou failed to obtain a majority in the parliament, where 15 of the 589 deputies abstained. Bayrou has now become the only prime minister under the Fifth Republic since 1958 to be brought down by a confidence vote. Opposition parties across the spectrum, from the far-left LFI to the far-right National Rally (RN), as well as the Socialists, had vowed to vote against the government. Budget negotiations have been a major source of tension in French politics. On Monday evening, demonstrators took to the streets across France to celebrate the fall of Bayrou’s government, while far-right leader Marine Le Pen declared that only new elections could end the political stalemate. Rallies erupted in several cities, including Paris, Nantes, Lyon, Rennes, Bordeaux, Nice and Pau, with protesters waving signs reading “Bye bye Bayrou” and preparing for a larger “Block Everything” mobilization planned for Sept. 10.
