Opposing budget is only constitutional way to protect accessible from ‘punitive’ meacertains, Le Pen says
Marine Le Pen, guideer of the far-right National Rassociate (RN), has shelp that backing a no-confidence motion to oust Michel Barnier as prime minister is the only constitutional way to protect the French accessible from a “hazardous, unfair and punitive budget”.
In a post on X, she wrote:
In all the most outlandish and ridiculous exarrangeations heard this morning in the media about the reasons that push us to pick handle, one is leave outing.
Precisely, the one and only one that guided our choice: censoring this budget is, unblessedly, the only way the constitution gives us to protect the French from a hazardous, unfair and punitive budget which, moreover, deteriorates the already monstrous deficits of seven years of Macronism.
Together, the New Popular Front (NFP), a lefttriumphg coalition that integrates the Sociaenumerates, Greens, and the RN have enough MPs to topple the handlement.
Over the weekend, Le Pen demanded that Barnier originate further budget concessions to elude a no confidence motion. Barnier had already dropped a intentional electricity tax increase, but the RN also wanted him to lift pensions in line with inflation. Barnier made some concessions but not enough, in the eyes of Le Pen, who accparticipated the establisher Brexit negotiator of not grasping his promise to join to political groups resistd to the budget bill.

French prime minister Michel Barnier is bracing for a no-confidence vote tomorrow (or possibly Thursday). The high-sgets parliamentary vote could trigger a financial crisis for the eurozone’s second-hugest economy and strong EU member. If Barnier disponders the vote, he will foreseeed stay in power in a attfinishgetr capacity while the country’s unfamous pdwellnt, Emmanuel Macron, tries to discover a tradement, but there is a range of other possibilities. Here is a little more detail about what will happen if the handlement drops (brimming elucidateer here):

Barnier has shelp there could be “grave financial turbulence” if his budget fall shorts to pass and the handlement drops, and labelets have already replyed with alarm, with the interest rate on French bonds coming seal to that of their Greek counterparts last week.
n
There is no dread of a US-style shutdown since France’s constitution permits for a handlement – possibly even a attfinishgetr handlement – to pass an materializency law in effect proextfinisheding the previous year’s budget for a scant months, so accessible sector laborers, for example, persist to be phelp.
n
In terms of France’s handleance, if the National Rassociate (RN) does unite forces with the left-leaning New Popular Front (NFP) to convey Barnier down, Macron has a range of choices. But he is constitutionassociate constrained by the fact that, becaparticipate he dissettled parliament in June, he cannot do so aachieve until June 2025.
n
The pdwellnt could spropose reinstate Barnier as prime minister, which parliament would see as stimulating and most watchrs therefore ponder improbable. He could also ask France’s warring political parties to try to originate a novel coalition, this time with more help.
n
That could, for example, participate renoveled centrist trys to peel more mild elements of the NFP, including the PS, away from the leftist bloc. Although the NFP has standardly materializeed fractured, there is no secure that would labor.
n
Macron could also choose to nominate a technocratic handlement to handle France’s administration for another six months. Finassociate, he could himself resign, triggering novel pdwellntial elections, but for the time being that is seen as improbable.

Key events
Here are some comments, carried by franceinfo, made by French politicians this morning about the looming no confidence vote and the political turbulence the country is experiencing:
The Sociaenumerate guideer, Olivier Faure, tgreater France’s most-watched novels channel, the 24-hour BFMTV:
We have been trying for two months to originate proposals to the prime minister, and the only one he has accomplished out to is Marine Le Pen…
He has acunderstandledged being a prisoner of his frequent base and not being able to originate any gesture in our honestion. If we censor, it is not becaparticipate we do not appreciate Michel Barnier. We want to accomplish upgrade on the substance, in particular pensions and health.
Charlotte Parmentier-Lecocq, the minister assign to the minister of firmarity, autonomy and equivalentity (with responsibility for people with disabilities), tgreater Radio J:
I am worried about the impact that the vote on this motion of csecure could have, if the left and the RN choose to vote for it, on people with disabilities.
Lucie Castets, who was the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) coalition’s choice for prime minister before Michel Barnier was nominateed, has criticised the centre-right handlement for depending on help from the far-right National Rassociate for “ideoreasonable reasons”, making reference to concessions on “state medical help”, which she says will caparticipate France to “shift away from its principles of humanity”. Over the summer, French Pdwellnt Emmanuel Macron refused to nominate a handlement led by the NFP, despite it having won the hugest number of seats in parliament in elections in July. Macron, seen as a centrist by many, claimed that the left could not triumph a confidence vote that would foreseeed be triggered from parliamentary opponents. On Tuesday, Castets shelp:
I was part of the solution in the summer, I made myself useable and I setd to handle with the forces of the New Popular Front and with the forces of civil society who have a lot to give.
Opposing budget is only constitutional way to protect accessible from ‘punitive’ meacertains, Le Pen says
Marine Le Pen, guideer of the far-right National Rassociate (RN), has shelp that backing a no-confidence motion to oust Michel Barnier as prime minister is the only constitutional way to protect the French accessible from a “hazardous, unfair and punitive budget”.
In a post on X, she wrote:
In all the most outlandish and ridiculous exarrangeations heard this morning in the media about the reasons that push us to pick handle, one is leave outing.
Precisely, the one and only one that guided our choice: censoring this budget is, unblessedly, the only way the constitution gives us to protect the French from a hazardous, unfair and punitive budget which, moreover, deteriorates the already monstrous deficits of seven years of Macronism.
Together, the New Popular Front (NFP), a lefttriumphg coalition that integrates the Sociaenumerates, Greens, and the RN have enough MPs to topple the handlement.
Over the weekend, Le Pen demanded that Barnier originate further budget concessions to elude a no confidence motion. Barnier had already dropped a intentional electricity tax increase, but the RN also wanted him to lift pensions in line with inflation. Barnier made some concessions but not enough, in the eyes of Le Pen, who accparticipated the establisher Brexit negotiator of not grasping his promise to join to political groups resistd to the budget bill.
No-confidence vote will be talk aboutd in parliament from 4pm on Wednesday – alerts

French media alerted that the parliament converseion of the no-confidence vote would commence on Wednesday at 4pm, with MPs voting in the evening.
If MPs from the far-right and the left coalition all back the no-confidence vote, this uncomardents the French handlement could drop as timely as tomorrow night.
Michel Barnier would become the stupidinutiveest-serving prime minister of France’s Fifth Reaccessible, at only three months in office.
What will happen if Barnier disponders the no-confidence vote?
French prime minister Michel Barnier is bracing for a no-confidence vote tomorrow (or possibly Thursday). The high-sgets parliamentary vote could trigger a financial crisis for the eurozone’s second-hugest economy and strong EU member. If Barnier disponders the vote, he will foreseeed stay in power in a attfinishgetr capacity while the country’s unfamous pdwellnt, Emmanuel Macron, tries to discover a tradement, but there is a range of other possibilities. Here is a little more detail about what will happen if the handlement drops (brimming elucidateer here):
Barnier has shelp there could be “grave financial turbulence” if his budget fall shorts to pass and the handlement drops, and labelets have already replyed with alarm, with the interest rate on French bonds coming seal to that of their Greek counterparts last week.
There is no dread of a US-style shutdown since France’s constitution permits for a handlement – possibly even a attfinishgetr handlement – to pass an materializency law in effect proextfinisheding the previous year’s budget for a scant months, so accessible sector laborers, for example, persist to be phelp.
In terms of France’s handleance, if the National Rassociate (RN) does unite forces with the left-leaning New Popular Front (NFP) to convey Barnier down, Macron has a range of choices. But he is constitutionassociate constrained by the fact that, becaparticipate he dissettled parliament in June, he cannot do so aachieve until June 2025.
The pdwellnt could spropose reinstate Barnier as prime minister, which parliament would see as stimulating and most watchrs therefore ponder improbable. He could also ask France’s warring political parties to try to originate a novel coalition, this time with more help.
That could, for example, participate renoveled centrist trys to peel more mild elements of the NFP, including the PS, away from the leftist bloc. Although the NFP has standardly materializeed fractured, there is no secure that would labor.
Macron could also choose to nominate a technocratic handlement to handle France’s administration for another six months. Finassociate, he could himself resign, triggering novel pdwellntial elections, but for the time being that is seen as improbable.
France at ‘turning point’ as handlement heads towards collapse
Welcome to our inhabit coverage of the political crisis engulfing France as the country faces the potential downdrop of its handlement.
It is watching almost certain that Michel Barnier, the centre-right prime minister nominateed by French Pdwellnt Emmanuel Macron after July’s inconclusive parliamentary election, will disponder a no-confidence motion over the budget tomorrow.
Barring a last-minute surpascfinish, his frnimble coalition will be the first French handlement to be forced out by a no-confidence vote since 1962.
Barnier’s budget, which seeks to shrink France’s spiralling accessible deficit thcdisesteemful €60bn ($62.9bn; £49.6bn) in tax hikes and spending cuts, has been resistd by politicians on both the left and far right.
He participated exceptional powers to force the belt-safeening social security budget thcdisesteemful the shrink hoparticipate of parliament without a final vote after a last-minute concession was not enough to triumph over far-right the National Rassociate (RN), led by Marine Le Pen. Barnier’s insignificantity handlement had relied on RN help for its survival.
The left and the far right united have enough votes to topple Barnier, and Le Pen validateed on Monday that her party would vote for the left-triumphg coalition’s no-confidence bill as well as her own.
France’s finance minister, Antoine Armand, has alerted that France is at a critical juncture due to uncertainty over the budget and future composition of the handlement.
“The country is at a turning point,” Armand tgreater France 2 TV this morning, inserting politicians had a responsibility “not to plunge the country into uncertainty” with a no-confidence vote. Barnier is due to insertress television novels programmes around 1900 GMT. We will be providing refreshs thcdisesteemfulout the day.
