Vast majority of French citizens agree with Bardella.
As we reported earlier, French Prime Minister François Bayrou has called a ‘confidence vote’ on the Parliament after becoming unable to approve his budget bill with his minortity government.
Bayrou is widely expected to lose this vote, and the ‘day after’ for the French Republic is still uncertain.
President of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella criticized what he called an ‘institutional blockage’.
BFMTV reported:
“The president of the National Rally Jordan Bardella called on Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, August 26 on TF1 to ‘return to the ballot box (…) either by dissolution or by resignation’, deploring an ‘institutional blockage’.
François Bayrou announced on Monday that he will seek a vote of confidence by the National Assembly on September 8. The National Rally had then indicated that far-right elected officials would not trust the Prime Minister. The leader of the RN deputies, Marine Le Pen, even considered that ‘only dissolution will now allow the French to choose their destiny’.”
The opposition parties, who hold the majority of seats in Parliament, have all stated that they will bring down the minority government in the September 8 vote.
In the meantime, two-thirds of citizens surveyed also wanted President Emmanuel Macron to resign.
Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella’s rightwing National Rally (RN) has the most backing to lead the next government.
On a different BFMTV report (translated from the French):
“The day after François Bayrou’s press conference, more than 7 out of 10 French people do not want the Prime Minister to obtain the vote of confidence that he proposed to the opposition the day before, as revealed by an Elabe poll conducted for BFMTV.
72% of those polled do not want François Bayrou’s government to obtain a majority of support in the National Assembly. In detail, 45% of the French are “not at all” in favour of the vote of confidence and 27% are “not really”.”
“On the other hand, 21% of those polled “somewhat agree” that François Bayrou should obtain this vote, and 6% are “completely”. 1% of those questioned did not give any answers.
[…] Of those surveyed, 76% of those surveyed think that the draft budget for 2026 proposed by François Bayrou is not effective in reducing public debt, and 82% of those surveyed think that efforts are not fairly distributed according to each person’s abilities.”
