French Prime Minister François Bayrou's government faces a critical motion of censure this week, just a month after his appointment.

The motion, led by La France Insoumise (LFI), has gained support from other left-wing groups, though the Socialist Party remains divided.

LFI leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon claims the "center of gravity" has shifted to his party, warning that Socialists who abstain effectively back the government.

Meanwhile, right-wing parties, including the Rassemblement National, criticize Bayrou's policies but are unlikely to support the censure.

The outcome hinges on whether Socialist MPs align with their leftist allies or seek further concessions from Bayrou on key issues like pension reform.
