French Far-Right Leader Indicates Strong Opposition to No-Confidence Vote Targeting Government
Jordan Bardella from the far-right party argues that uncertainty regarding the budget would negatively impact the French citizens, signaling his party's probable dismissal of any no-confidence motions against Francois Bayrou's administration.
Jordan Bardella, the leader of the French far-right, suggested on Tuesday that his party would probably not endorse the forthcoming no-confidence motions aimed at Prime Minister François Bayrou's administration.
Bardella argued that the French citizens would endure greater hardships from heightened instability than from the 2025 budget, which was pushed through parliament on Monday.
Bayrou's government has been under mounting pressure to finalize the long-overdue budget, as business leaders, European Union officials, and voters grow increasingly frustrated with the lack of political unity.
During an interview with CNews, Bardella remarked, 'The question is: Is it preferable to have a flawed budget or none at all? We will make our decision tomorrow.' He indicated that the government would likely withstand the no-confidence vote, particularly after the centre-left Socialist Party opted not to support the motion.
'Mathematically, the government cannot collapse,' Bardella stated.
This situation arises amid persistent political uncertainty in France, triggered by President Emmanuel Macron’s unexpected announcement of a snap election in June, which led to a hung parliament and a resulting public finance deficit.
