Will Michel Barnier fall with his budgets? In any case, members of the government are putting pressure on Marine Le Pen, who has the means to bring him down. Several of them warned of the risk of a financial crisis that would be caused by a fall of the government without prior adoption of a budget. Government spokesperson Maud Bregeon declared on Sunday, November 24, that she feared “a Greek scenario”. And this Monday, it was Bruno Retailleau who also warned the head of the RN deputies about the risk of censorship. In front of nearly 500 activists from the LR federation in Paris, he launched “Would the security of the French be better ensured if, let's take an example at random, Louis Boyard were in my place, he who affirms that the police kill? »
Marine Le Pen's response was not long in coming. On the social network X, she wrote: “This type of 'big-red-that-stains' argument is not worthy of you Mr. Retailleau, nor of the French people whose intelligence you are offending. Any appointment of an NFP Prime Minister would result in immediate censorship and you know it. » The former presidential candidate called on the Minister of the Interior to “put (his) energy into convincing Mr. Barnier of the inefficiency, violence and injustice of his budget. » According to the latest Ifop barometer for the JDD, this Sunday, 67% of RN voters say they are in favor of government censorship.
