Do it better. And in a different way. This is, in essence, the message sent by Marine Le Pen to Michel Barnier after the Prime Minister’s announcements on two provisions of his draft budget: the increase in the tax on electricity and the end of exemptions from business contributions for low salaries. “There are still difficulties. It’s Thursday. You have until Monday [2 décembre] »warns the leader of the extreme right World.
Marine Le Pen maintains her intention to vote next week on the censure of the Government, in the event of application of article 49.3 of the Constitution to approve the social security financing bill (PLFSS). And this, whatever Michel Barnier’s promises about his 2025 budget, about a review of the voting method or about the content of a possible immigration law. “Rejecting censorship of the finance bill will not work. We have four red lines, which are actually red lines. »
Michel Barnier has announced, for the moment, in The Figaro the withdrawal of two of these four measures that the RN demands the abandonment, as Marine Le Pen had indicated, on Monday, November 25 during an interview in Matignon.

” Contempt “
To the list of her complaints, the president of the National Rally group (RN) in the National Assembly adds the lack of funding for Michel Barnier’s advertisements. “They tell us that the increases will be canceled without giving us the funds. The Senate financed the elimination of the increase in electricity with the increase in gas, that worries me. We have made proposals to increase the financial transactions tax, the share buyback tax, reduce the budget for state medical aid and reduce development aid. But they don’t think about anything other than tax increases or benefit cuts. »
Above all, Marine Le Pen would like the Prime Minister to agree with her. Little did he appreciate that, in his interview at FigaroMichel Barnier refuses to specify that he was offering the RN the cancellation of the increase in the tax on electricity, which the extreme right has been targeting for two months. “The attachment to saying that this is not a concession to the RN poses a democratic problem for me. They want our votes and not our heads, we have been living this for forty years! I don’t see what is shameful, in a democracy, to take into account the red lines of the first group of the National Assembly. We don’t have to hide it unless we express contempt that I don’t think is appropriate, and we’ll let you know. Doing your best not to say you respect RN voters is the best way to keep our voters calling for censure. »
