The vice-president of the National Rally Sébastien Chenu on Wednesday threatened François Bayrou with censorship if the latter “does not take into account the errors that Michel Barnier may have made, both in form and in substance” in the preparation of his budget. “If François Bayrou does not take into account the errors that Michel Barnier may have made, both in form and in substance, he will also head towards the same consequences, that is to say sooner or later towards censorship”, said the Northern MP on Europe 1-Cnews.
National priority “for a certain number of social aids”
“The hourglass has returned, we will tell it when the last grains flow, if it has fulfilled its mission or if it also deserves to leave”, he decided. What would be the conditions for him not to be the subject of a motion of censure? “If he listens to us, if he hears us, if he accepts proposals” of the far-right party to make savings and reduce the public deficit.
He mentioned the RN program for the budget: fight against social and tax fraud, national priority “for a certain number of social benefits” on aid or even the abolition of state agencies.
If François Bayrou, appointed five days ago to Matignon “has been attentive to Michel Barnier’s errors, inconsistencies and that he does not reproduce them, then he will be able to construct a budget”estimated the MP close to Marine Le Pen.
Michel Barnier (LR) had to resign on December 5 after his government was censored by the National Assembly, with the votes of the 121 deputies of the National Rally. In an interview with Le Parisien on Tuesday, the president of the group in the Assembly, Marine Le Pen, was more lenient than her lieutenant towards the head of Modem, nevertheless promising to judge him “on his actions.”
