French President Emmanuel Macron has been hit with a no-confidence vote following the widespread protests throughout the country.
In the wake of the yellow vest protests against fuel hikes, the motion has been filed by left-wing groups, according to reports.
Macron's recent address to the nation promising a minimum wage rise and tax concession has done little to tame protests and his government will face a no-confidence vote tomorrow.

While there is a small chance the administration would lose a no-confidence vote, the president will be forced to detail budget plans for next year, according to Bloomberg.
On Saturday almost 2000 people were arrested, and 264 people were injured during protests that developed into rioting and looting
The President acknowledged that mass immigration was also a significant concern, admitting, “We must tackle the question of immigration.”
The spokesman for the yellow vests of Magny in Montceau les Mines, Pierre-Gael Laveder, Tweeted about the French president being 'disdainful.'
Emmanuel Macron, writes @artgoldhammer, “mistook his ample margin of victory for a mandate, which it certainly was not. The majority of those who voted for him were rejecting Le Pen rather than embracing Macron.”https://t.co/1YJ33wbTKn
