One more step towards government censorship? While Marine Le Pen met this Monday with Prime Minister Michel Barnier to discuss the 2025 budget, the latter confirmed, at the end of her interview, the intention to vote for censure of the government if the budget remains “as is.” “.

The Prime Minister “appeared to me to be stuck to his positions,” declared Marine Le Pen. “My position has not changed. No more, it seems, than that of the Prime Minister has evolved,” she said as she left Matignon.

A growing threat of censorship

Remember that the Prime Minister began his consultations with the opposition parliamentary groups this Monday, starting with Marine Le Pen who, with the National Rally deputies, is increasingly threatening to censor the government. The leader of the RN arrived accompanied by the deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy, who had said he was ready to vote “against” the budget, and Renaud Labaye, secretary general of the group in the National Assembly. “Michel Barnier creates the conditions for censorship,” Vice-President Sébastien Chenu ruled on Sunday. And the RN lists its grievances: revaluation of pensions, tax on electricity, “increase in 's contribution to the European Union”, or even the absence of savings on “the State's millefeuille” and “on immigration”.

Michel Barnier had already received several opposition leaders before his general policy declaration, but not Marine Le Pen nor her counterpart for La France insoumise Mathilde Panot, who must be received at the end of the afternoon. The latter intends to repeat to him “that he has no democratic legitimacy” and that LFI will table, with the rest of the left, a motion of censure in the event of recourse to 49.3 on the budget.
