Will Marine Le Pen support the NFP motion of censure?
While Michel Barnier prepares to receive opposition groups in Parliament on Monday, notably Marine Le Pen, the New Popular Front is preparing to table a motion of censure to reject the government budget.
It remains to be seen whether Marine Le Pen will support the left-wing coalition. The leader of the National Rally will only have one word to say: if the motion of censure passes, the government will fall.
In the event of an overthrow of the government, 29% of French people would be ready to reappoint Michel Barnier to Matignon, while 33% of them advocate appointing a new Prime Minister from the ranks of the political parties constituting the “common base”, which supports currently the government of Michel Barnier.
Finally, 38% of French people would like a Prime Minister from the New Popular Front to be appointed, bringing together left-wing political parties.
