President Macron's government has narrowly survived two no-confidence votes in parliament, days after he pushed through controversial pension reform.
Opposition politicians were angry Macron bypassed parliament to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
For the motions to have passed, parties from across the deeply divided National Assembly would have had to unite and they haven't done that.
