Faced with the RN’s decision to censure Michel Barnier on the Social Security budget, Bruno Retailleau evokes an “idea of revenge”, which he cannot explain or only with “irrational elements.”
“There are no rational elements, because the Prime Minister had made a certain number of concessions. On electricity, state medical aid… My feeling is that you can cover for Madame Le Pen gifts like the Christmas tree, she will say no because she has an agenda”, declares the Minister of the Interior on TF1.
Michel Barnier has made several gestures towards the RN in recent days. He renounced increasing taxes on electricity beyond the level in place before the tariff shield and also announced a reduction in the state medical aid (AME) care basket for undocumented immigrants.
Yesterday, a few hours before the Social Security budget returned to the Assembly, Michel Barnier made a final concession, committing to no delisting of medicines in 2025.
