DIRECT – Fall of the Barnier Government: “We made the choice to protect the French”, believes Marine Le Pen

Budgetary “reality” will not “disappear by the enchantment of a motion of censure”, warns Michel Barnier

“We are (…) at a moment of truth” and “responsibility”, because the budgetary “reality” “will not disappear by the enchantment of a motion of censure”, declared Michel Barnier before the deputies. “We have reached each other, ladies and gentlemen deputies, at a moment of truth and at a moment of responsibility,” he said, applauded at length on his rise to the podium by his supporters from the right and from the center. “It is not for pleasure that I presented almost only difficult measures in this budget. I would have preferred to distribute money” and “this (budgetary) reality will not disappear by the magic of a motion censorship,” he added.
