‘Inconceivable’ for French Socialists to back PM Bayrou in confidence vote, Faure says

PARIS (Reuters) -The head of the French Socialist Party Olivier Faure told French daily Le Monde on Monday that it was “inconceivable” that French Socialists back Prime Minister Francois Bayrou in a confidence vote.

The votes of Socialist lawmakers will be decisive for Bayrou’s fate because if they join other left-wing parties and the far right in voting against the government, there will likely be enough votes to oust it.
