The French government has collapsed after prime minister Michel Barnier was ousted in a no-confidence vote, reports the BBC.
MPs voted overwhelmingly in support of the motion against him - just three months after he was appointed by President Emmanuel Macron.
Opposition parties had tabled the motion after the former Brexit negotiator controversially used special powers to force through his budget without a vote.
It marks the first time the country's government has collapsed in a no-confidence vote since 1962.
His overthrowing will further France's current political instability, after snap elections in summer led to no single group having a majority in parliament.
MPs were required to either vote yes or abstain from Wednesday's vote, with 288 votes needed for the motion to pass. A total of 331 voted in support of the motion.
Both the far right and radical left had tabled motions of no-confidence after Barnier pushed through reforms to social security by invoking presidential decree on Monday after failing to win enough support for the measures.
The left-wing alliance New Popular Front (NFP), which won the most seats in the parliamentary elections, had heavily criticised Macron's decision to appoint centrist Barnier over its own candidate.
Alongside the far-right National Rally (RN), it had deemed Barnier's budget - which included €60bn (£49bn) in deficit reduction - unacceptable.
