France's Political and Budget Drama Spooks Investors

Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally, threatens a no confidence vote against French PM Michel Barnier over budget disagreements, causing market instability. French borrowing costs are rising, and Le Pen's demands include pension indexation and electricity taxes. As a key figure in the National Assembly, her influence grows after Macron's party lost elections. Finance Minister Antoine Armand aims to prevent government collapse by making budget concessions. A no confidence vote could occur by December 4 or before Christmas.
