France is reportedly in utter turmoil and it seems the person in control is Marie le Pen, very much in control in a country where you see now in a country where 53% of the public want prime minister michel Barnier’s government to fall.
His proposed budget is been debated and discussed and 67% of the country has oppossed the budget which consist of 60 billion euros in tax hikes and spending cuts and france is in such a situation where citizens are been asked to work for free.
Marie le pen is now essentially the King Maker in terms of french politics. She and her party would decide if this Barnier government collapses or survives. As you can see now, the screws are been turned big time on Barnier with Le Pen saying that he has until this monday, demand concessions in return for her party’s support. Barniers options are running out with the french socialist rejecting any prospects of backing his budget.
Barnier now has to turn and rely on Le Pen’s support to pass the budget and for his government to survive. But how likely is that as some of Le Pen’s recent comment is that the budget is bad, unjust and violent. Former French interior minister, Gerald Darmanian has asked the prime minister to find common ground with the National Rally Party and it’s 11 million voters.
So that is the situation now, we would see if this budget and current french government survives based on the decision of Marie Le Pen.
