FRANCE: RN Leaders-'Party Will Vote Against PM Barnier'; Ensures Gov'ts Ouster

FRANCE

Jordan Bardella, leader of the far-right Rassemblement National (National Rally, RN), and its parliamentary leader Marine Le Pen have each confirmed that the party will vote against PM Michel Barnier and his gov't in any censure motion, essentially ensuring the ouster of the gov't. Le Pen says that the RN's demands on the budget were not met, that Barnier 'chose not to answer to our voters'. Le Pen confirms the RN will lodge its own censure motion, but that its deputies will vote for any censure motion no matter who tables it. 

  • Le Pen: "Very recently, the government turned to the National Rally for the first time, which repeated its red lines. We are not pulling them out of a hat. These are decisions included in this very unfair social security financing bill,"
  • Bardella posts on X: "There is no way out for a government that reconnects with the thread of Macronism, that refuses to take into account the social emergency of the end of the month and that ignores the need to relaunch growth. The National Rally will vote for censure."
  • Parties of the left and far-right have also called on President Emmanuel Macron to resign in light of the political chaos, arguably sparked by the snap legislative election in the summer that led to the current divided parliament. However, Macron is under no obligation to do so, with his second term not expiring until April 2027.
