For Michel Barnier, “censorship will make everything more difficult and more serious”. “There is one thing I am sure of: censorship will make everything more difficult and more serious,” replied Prime Minister Michel Barnier during a question to the government.
Macron says he “does not believe in the vote of censure” by the government. From Saudi Arabia, where he arrived on Monday for a three-day state visit, Emmanuel Macron says he “does not believe in the vote of censure” by the Barnier government. “My priority is stability,” declared the head of state. According to him, the National Rally would be “unbearably cynical” if it voted for the motion tabled by the left, “which insults its voters”, while the Socialist Party, and in particular ex-president François Hollande, would demonstrate of a “complete loss of bearings” by voting for censorship.
Barnier believes that a “reflex of responsibility” from MPs is “possible”. I think it is possible that there is this reflex of responsibility where, beyond political differences, divergences, contradictions normal in a democracy, we say to ourselves that there is a higher interest. I think that the higher interest of the country, the common good, the national interest, that means something,” he said from Matignon on TF1 and France 2.
By being part of Macron’s “catastrophic continuity”, Barnier “could only fail” according to Le Pen. “By placing his budget in the catastrophic continuity of Emmanuel Macron, the Prime Minister could only fail”, reacted on X the leader of the RN deputies, on the eve of the motion of censure that his group is preparing to vote to bring down the government.
“The Prime Minister only extended his hand to Marine Le Pen,” laments Olivier Faure. “The Prime Minister only reached out to Marine Le Pen. […] He never tried to discuss with us,” denounced Olivier Faure on RMC-BFMTV Tuesday morning. “I understand the fact that we must straighten out the public accounts” but “(budgetary) balance does not require sleight of hand,” he added.
