General policy speech
The Prime Minister consulted extensively before the general policy speech he will deliver to the National Assembly this Tuesday at 3 p.m. With the challenge of responding to the budgetary emergency, with expected tax increases. Michel Barnier should speak for about an hour, according to his entourage, and insist on two demands, “financial debt and ecological debt”.
Social pressure
In his highly anticipated speech, Michel Barnier must set the course for his policy. To put pressure on, more than 180 demonstrations are planned this Tuesday in France at the call of the CGT, the FSU and Solidaires to demand in particular the repeal of the pension reform and an increase in wages.
First dissensions
Barely appointed, the Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau engaged in a showdown with the Minister of Justice from the left, Didier Migaud, forcing Michel Barnier to bring them together to work on “common lines”.
The Beauvau tenant lit a new fire by speaking out on security and immigration. The rule of law “is not intangible, not sacred,” he said, sending shock waves through the Macronist ranks.
