A welcome step back, but far from enough. Jordan Bardella reacted this Thursday, November 28, to Michel Barnier’s resignation from the increase in taxes on electricity that will allow “a drop in electricity prices of 14%.”
“Whether in my majority or in the opposition: almost everyone asked me to evolve,” defends the Prime Minister.
“Thanks to our decisive action, energy prices will not increase for the French in 2025, if this promise is respected and if it is not financed by other tax increases,” congratulated the president of the National Group X.
The National Rally, which threatens to vote a motion of censure against Michel Barnier in the coming days or weeks, is putting pressure on the government to revise its copy of the budget and that of Social Security.
“There are other red lines left”
RN deputy Laure Lavalette also welcomed this step back from the Prime Minister: “Marine Le Pen will not allow anyone to attack French workers.” Edwige Díaz, also a RN deputy, welcomes “a first step” by the government “that unfortunately comes very late.”
“We can’t stop there,” warns Jordan Bardella.
The MEP calls in particular on the Government to “give up additional reimbursement for medicines”, to the “reindexation of pensions (retirement, editor’s note)” from 2025, as well as to “a serious turn in the immigration and criminal situation “. “The prime minister cannot remain deaf, he has a few days left,” the president of the National Group finally warns.
