PARIS: French Prime Minister Michel Barnier on Tuesday expressed confidence in his government's ability to withstand an upcoming vote of no confidence in the parliament.

In an interview with French television, Barnier pointed to the possibility of MPs experiencing a 'reflex of responsibility,' indicating that a shared sense of duty could triumph over political divisions.

He stressed the necessity of acknowledging a 'greater good' that transcends partisan conflicts.

The result of the vote, set for Wednesday, will hinge on the MPs' choices.
