Michel Barnier is categorical: the political parties that voted censorship against their government, on the Social Security budget on December 4, 2024, will have to “take into account” during the next presidential elections.
“The country’s interest went to everyone to take its share of the deficit of France and reduce the deficit for our children,” insists the former BFMTV-RMC prime minister on Tuesday, April 15, taking it just as well in the “extreme right”, the “extreme left” and the “Socialist Party.” That it was “at that time it was irresponsible,” he said.
“I let the plaster”
Everyone has “set aside the interest of the country”, by voting censorship in the budget, it is accused, while in addition to overthrowing the government aimed at rejection of the text and the France deprived of the possibility of a budget immediately.
It is true that Michel Barnier addresses the National Rally and Marine Le Pen, denouncing a decision made for “completely tactical and opportunistic reasons.” But especially he wants the PS, whose deputies have refused, with some exceptions, to vote the different censorship motions against François Bayrou in the budget.
The PS “has not lived up. Maybe it became because the plaster suffered me,” the church wanted its successor François Bayrou “triumph.”
On December 4, 2024, the motion of censure on the left had compiled the necessary absolute majority of the votes of the National Assembly, with 331 votes for those of the RN and their allies of the Eric Ciotti group, as well as the PS, LFI, the environmentalists and the communists.
Replaced by François Bayrou on December 13, 2024, Michel Barnier is the most ephemeral minister of the fifth republic with 3 months and 8 days in Matignon. He is the only one, with Georges Pompidou in 1962, which has been overthrown by a motion of censure.
