Could the RN not censor the government? “Everything is possible in life”replied Sébastien Chenu, vice-president of the RN, on franceinfo. But at this stage, according to the far-right MP, the elected representatives of the National Rally will vote to bring down the government of Michel Barnier. “It doesn’t go far enough”he estimated, describing these concessions as “bricolage”. The party led by Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen still threatens to overthrow the government if it does not respond to its others by Monday “red lines”.

Maud Brégeon defends Michel Barnier's concessions. The government spokesperson recalled on France 2 that the far-right party was not the only one to ask the government to review the copy. “We hear the 577 deputies and through them the 67 million French people”she assured. The decision not to increase the electricity tax is “a measure for the purchasing power of the French”a subject which “is not the preserve of Marine Le Pen”she replied.

A “deplorable” incident in the Assembly on Thursday evening. Maud Bregeon also judged “deplorable and distressing” the incident that occurred Thursday evening at the National Assembly, during the parliamentary niche of La France insoumise. A heated altercation took place between Nicolas Turquois (MoDem) and Antoine Léaument (La France insoumise). For the government spokesperson, this type of event “does a lot of harm to all politicians” and the image they project. “I can only deplore it because in the end, beyond individualities, it is the image that we send collectively that is weakened”she adds.
