The French far-right leader Marine Le Pen the Prime Minister has accused it Michel Barnierto reject dialogue with his party and has announced that he will vote in favor of a motion of censure to topple his government next Wednesday.

Barnier has only 211 delegates in a General Assembly of 577which makes his resignation almost certain in the motion of censure, which in France is not constructive, but simply overthrows the government. It will be Macron, who is on a state visit to Saudi Arabia until Wednesday, who will have to appoint a new executive.
The leader of the far right, whose 140 deputies that are fundamental to the survival of the executive, has announced that his group will table its own motion of censure, but that they are also prepared to vote in favor of the motion he announced left.
With that position, Barnier’s Executive hours are… named last September 5have been counted, but Le Pen has downplayed the seriousness of the matter: “Last year’s budgets will be applied, there will be a new prime minister and he will adopt a new budget.”
“The French have no reason to be afraid. “The only thing they should fear is the country’s high deficit and the rise in unemployment due to the policies of the past seven years,” he said.
Postpone pension increases and stop subsidizing medicines
Le Pen has accused Barnier of wanting to follow Macron’s policies and has minimized the concessions the prime minister has made to them in budget negotiations in recent days.
Moreover, he has criticized the fact that he did not agree with the last of them, namely giving up on postponing the increase in pensions in 2025 by half a year to accommodate inflation in 2024.
He has assured that it is his duty to “defend the French” against the measures of the executive and believes that Barnier has not taken into account his proposals on “austerities and new revenues”.
As for the decision not to stop subsidizing certain medicines, which Barnier adopted this morning, Le Pen has indicated that it amounts to barely 500 million euros.
