French Prime Minister François Bayrou will ask National Assembly for a vote of confidence in his government today. After less than nine months in office, Bayrou is expected to lose the vote since the opposition has made it clear that it is no longer willing to support his minority government. The key issue is Bayrou's controversial austerity budget for combating the French debt crisis. Europe's media debate the causes, consequences and potential solutions.
