French Prime Minister Beru is planning to meet with the opposition on Monday in an effort to avoid defeat in the confidence vote.

In order to avoid losing the confidence vote in parliament next month, French Prime Minister Francois Beru will begin meeting with opposition politicians from Monday. Beru stated that he is ready to discuss any issues with other political parties, but he will not compromise on the debt issue as reducing debt is urgent for France. "The country is being crushed by debt," he said in an interview with TF1 television on Wednesday night. Beru will face a confidence vote on his fiscal strategy on September 8. This move once again pushes France to the brink of political paralysis and creates tension in financial and economic relations. With the risk of not having a majority in parliament and the opposition parties uniting to vote for Beru's dismissal, the French government faces the risk of being overturned.
