<p>PARIS (Reuters) -France is not currently in a situation that would need the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to intervene but any risk of a government falling in the euro zone is "worrying", European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said on Monday.</p>
<p>Speaking to broadcaster Radio Classique, Lagarde said fiscal discipline remained imperative in France, and that she was looking very attentively at the French bond spreads situation.</p>
<p>French opposition parties have said they will bring down the minority government in the September 8 confidence vote which Prime Minister Francois Bayrou unexpectedly announced last week, over his unpopular plans for a budget squeeze in 2026.</p>
<p>This has hit the stock and bond markets of France, which is the euro zone's second economy.</p>
