Opposition parties plan to support a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Michel Barnier .

France is traditionally seen as the EU 's "motor" in terms of ideological and political horsepower.

Germany will hold a snap general election in February after its bickering coalition government collapsed.

President Emmanuel Macron will appoint a new prime minister if the current government now falls.

The verdict on her case is expected to be announced at the end of March . If Macron resigned now, a presidential election would have to be called in 30 days , giving Le Pen the chance to stand and - she hopes this time - to win. Politically, socially, economically, there is a lot riding in and outside France on what happens next..
