(Bloomberg) — President Emmanuel Macron called on French lawmakers to set aside their personal ambition and reject a vote that would topple the government and throw the country into political turmoil. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen and her National Rally party have vowed to support a no-confidence motion on Wednesday submitted by a left-wing coalition, a motion that will pass if backed by both groups. The National Rally became the largest single party in the lower house of parliament in a June snap election, transforming Le Pen into Paris’s most influential power broker. But Macron expressed confidence that politicians would step back from the brink. “The only question that politicians today need to ask themselves is how they can be useful to the country and to the French people,” Macron told reporters on Tuesday during a trip to Saudi Arabia. “Not how they can be useful to their own ambitions or their own interests.” The president said in Riyadh that for Le Pen’s party to support the no-confidence motion “would be a vote of unbearable cynicism,” adding that “I can’t believe that they’d vote for the” motion. Lawmakers in Paris will begin debating the motions at 4 p.m. in Paris Wednesday, with the voting to start shortly thereafter. Prime Minister Michel Barnier also spoke of the potential that the no-confidence motion wouldn’t pass. “I think it’s possible there will be a reflex of responsibility,” Barnier said on French TV Tuesday. “I think that the country’s higher interest, the common good, the national interest, mean something.” What Bloomberg Economics Says... “Le Pen might prefer political chaos to stability to put pressure on Macron to resign.” —Antonio Barroso, Eleonora Mavroeidi and Jamie Rush. For full insight, click here The political difficulties began after Macron called snap elections after getting trounced in European elections. That left the lower house split into three fiercely opposed blocs: a diminished center supporting the president, a leftist alliance and a strengthened far right led by Le Pen. With no coalition possible, Macron appointed Barnier prime minister in September with a core mission to get France’s messy finances in order. Barnier used a constitutional mechanism on Monday to force through an unpopular budget bill, leading the National Rally and the leftist coalition to call for the votes of no confidence. Le Pen moved forward with the motion even after Barnier submitted to nearly all of the National Rally’s demands to change the budget legislation. If the government were to collapse on Wednesday, it would underscore the power acquired by Le Pen since Macron called the surprise election in June. It would also mark the shortest tenure for a premier since France’s Fifth Republic was founded in 1958. The political chaos has driven bond investors to punish France’s sovereign debt relative to its peers, pushing borrowing costs at one point last week to match Greece’s and leading Barnier to warn of a “storm” in financial markets if he is dismissed from power. Investors have fretted for months over France’s political difficulties, just as the government has been trying to push measures that will reduce its unwieldy deficit. The budget bill initially presented by Barnier’s government contained €60 billion ($63.1 billion) of tax increases and spending cuts that aimed for a sharp adjustment in the deficit to 5% of economic output in 2025 from an estimated 6.1% this year. A government collapse so close to the end of the year would take France into unchartered territory. The outgoing administration, acting in a caretaker capacity, could use emergency laws to collect taxes and guarantee a minimal level of spending, but the economic and financial impact is hard to predict. The current finance minister, Antoine Armand, warned earlier Tuesday that stopgap legislation would raise taxes for millions of households and block planned spending increases for some priorities, including security and farming. But Macron expressed confidence that politicians voting on Wednesday would step back from the brink. “The only question that politicians today need to ask themselves is how they can be useful to the country and to the French people,” Macron said in Riyadh. “Not how they can be useful to their own ambitions or their own interests.” If the government is voted down, ministers remain in place with a caretaker status to manage current affairs, potentially including the emergency legislation to avoid a shutdown. It would then be up to Macron to appoint a new prime minister, although there is no constitutional deadline for his decision. The president, meantime, said he wouldn’t resign until his full term had ended. While the left has called on Macron to step down, he can’t be forced out of his job. The next presidential election is set for 2027 and Le Pen remains the frontrunner, according to polls. “I’ve been elected twice by the French people, and I’m extremely proud of that,” Macron said. “I’ll honor that trust with all my energy, right up to the last second, to be useful to the country.” —With assistance from William Horobin.
Anthony Edwards’ leadership had to take another step forward this week for TimberwolvesBooks Don't miss out on the headlines from Books. Followed categories will be added to My News. Capturing the incredible pups from each season of ABC TV’s beloved Muster Dogs has been an absolute joy – and being able to freeze those unique moments on the land through powerful photos is something I truly value. Sharing the stories of graziers and their working dogs is so important to understanding Australia’s regional life. When I found out that my photos were going to be published in a book, it was no easy task narrowing down the thousands of shots I’ve taken. The book, Muster Dogs: Mischief and Mateship, is a celebration of these dogs and their journeys from puppy to professional. I hope reading it brings you the same joy that I got from creating it. These are some of my favourite moments: This work thingy is exhausting ... Chief takes a break. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 1. After a big morning walk, Season Three pup Chief was exhausted, managing to catch a quick nap curled up at grazier Carolyn Hudson’s feet while the camera crew filmed her interview for the show. Season Three is scheduled for next year, after a Where Are They Now special in December. Someone get a ball ... Buffer wants to play. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 2. Kelpie pup Buffer was full of energy this morning, making it quite the challenge to capture this photo. I was lucky to snap it just in time before he went off to play with his siblings. Baaaaaack off ... Indi gets in. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 3. Season Two firecracker Indi showed no fear the first time she worked sheep. I managed to capture this incredible moment of her facing up to one, which shows so much bravery for such a young pup. Pesto chicken ... a recipe for success. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 4. Season Three pup Pesto blew everyone away with her beautiful natural work and compassion for her livestock. When I saw Pesto again at six months old, she was a very busy and fizzy pup, giving Jack a run for his money. He tried and failed to keep her calm while I tried to take photos of them together. But when he put her on the chooks in the house yard, she transformed into a completely different dog, calmly herding the chooks with the expertise of a much older dog. Water way to go ... Australia at its best. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 5. This spectacular shot speaks for itself: Season Three participant Nathan walking cattle on horseback with his team of dogs, set against the stunning backdrop of lush green grass, and vibrant blue water. The way the cattle trail through the water, creates a mesmerising pattern that really draws the eye. I feel privileged to capture not just this moment, but the beauty of the incredible landscapes and country that make these stories so special. Love all ... Ash Barky (right) shares a special moment with pals. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 6. A stunning shot of Season Two participant Cilla with some of her team, including Ash Barky. I love this moment in the delightful landscape of Cilla’s property. She’s sharing a laugh with her pooches, highlighting their beautiful bond. Here’s looking at ewe, kid ... Banksi is a woolly jumper. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 7. Season Three pup Banksi gets up close and personal with a lamb during his first look at sheep. From the start, this kelpie pup showed incredible instinct and drive. While he might be a handful for the participant who ended up with him, with the right guidance and effort, they could end up with an exceptional working dog. A Magic moment ... with Korra. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 8. A favourite photo from 2017: I captured my dogs Korra and Magic sharing a sweet moment as the sun set. Golden fleeces ... sunset makes this shot perfect. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 9. I just love this shot, but who doesn’t love a silhouette? I captured this at sunset in Bothwell, Tassie, where Season Two participant Russ and his Collie pup Molly were making the most of the final hours of daylight as they trained with their mob of Merino wethers. The stunning light and peaceful setting made this moment truly special. We did it, Dad! ... Rabbit and Mick share a moment. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 10. This shot of Mick Hudson and his champion trial-winning dog, Rabbit, shows the true bond between a working dog and its handler. It shows the moment shared after the gate is closed, the praise from the handler, and the look of pride and love from a job well done. Old dog, news tricks ... Kelly shows her son Steve a trick or two. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 11. Another favourite of my dogs from 2018, Kelpie Steve and his mother, Kelly, working together and moving in sync as they helped me educate weaners. This shot shows the role that older dogs play in the team and the skills and experiences they provide to younger upcoming dogs in a working dog team. Paw-ddleboard pals ... Nathan and Chief enjoy a break. Picture: Melissa Spencer. 12. A bond between a boy and his dog. Season Three participant Nathan and Chief were spending an afternoon off from training and school. The pair spent some quality time together on a paddleboard in the water, and let me tell you, their connection was as strong as I’ve ever seen. It was such a fun, relaxed moment to capture.
