French Socialists will not back a no-confidence vote against PM Bayrou, who is expected to survive due to concessions on reforms.
PARIS (Reuters) - The French centre-left Socialist party will not back a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Francois Bayrou's government, Le Figaro reported on Thursday, citing an intra-party meeting.

The lawmakers are expected to have a debate and vote on the motion later on Thursday.
