The noose is tightening around the government of Michel Barnier. The adoption of a motion of censure seems inevitable… onto the next one! The fate of Michel Barnier seems sealed. The alliance of the left and the extreme right should bring him down. Perhaps from the beginning of December, on the Social Security financing bill. At the latest before Christmas, on the occasion of the budget vote. Marine Le Pen has come so far that she can no longer go back. Besides, she is outbidding herself. It is no longer in a logic of pressure on the Prime Minister. She demands his surrender. He would have to implement the entire RN program to save his skin, which is obviously unthinkable. So onto the next one, because the leader of the far right already has another target in mind: Emmanuel Macron.

Marine Le Pen will try to blame him for the political and financial chaos that threatens in the aftermath of censorship. And more precisely to his choice to dissolve the Assembly. The maneuver can work since a clear majority of public opinion has still not understood the President's electoral hara-kiri. And the idea of ​​an early presidential election is gaining ground. It was requested on Wednesday by the LR mayor of Jean-François Copé and the general budget rapporteur Charles de Courson. Following the fall of the Barnier government, Marine Le Pen will therefore demand his resignation. Echoing… Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The rebellious leader is already dreaming out loud of an early presidential election to impose his fourth candidacy on the entire left. And find yourself in the second round against Marine Le Pen.

She also has a very specific legal agenda in mind. She is threatened with a heavy sentence of ineligibility with provisional execution in the case of the fictitious assistants of the RN whose trial ended Wednesday November 27. The decision will be made on March 31. To afford immunity, in the event of victory, Marine Le Pen needs to push the President of the Republic to resign within four months.

Remember that nothing forces him to do so. Emmanuel Macron was elected for 5 years, until 2027, and a new dissolution being impossible for a year, a new tenant of the Élysée, would be forced to live with the same Assembly, without a majority, until next July. But the pressure that will be exerted on the Élysée will be terrible. Everything will depend on the attitude of the other political forces, and first of all the socialists. They too are already looking ahead to the post-Barnier era. But they want to plead for a “ “technical government” supported by the parties of the republican arc, at least until new legislative elections. It is true that the PS, like the right, have no desire to witness, as spectators, a Le Pen-Mélenchon presidential duel.
