The far-right National Rally party in France, led by Jordan Bardella, announced it would not support a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Francois Bayrou's government regarding a contested budget bill. Bardella emphasized the importance of stability, suggesting that even a poor budget is preferable to no budget amid current uncertainties. This sentiment was echoed by the Socialist Party, which recognized that prolonged uncertainty could be detrimental to the economy. Bardella indicated their decision on the matter would be revealed the following day, ultimately confirming that Bayrou remains secure in his position for the moment.
Jordan Bardella remarked, 'Is it better to have a bad budget or no budget at all? We will decide tomorrow.' His comments reflect a preference for stability over uncertainty.
Bardella expressed concerns about instability impacting the economy, stating, 'The French people would not benefit from a new form of instability that would strongly impact the economy.'
Echoing Bardella's sentiments, the Socialist Party noted that regardless of disagreements, a budget is preferable to ongoing uncertainty and the lack of one.
The declaration confirms that Francois Bayrou's government is safe for now, as the National Rally party does not intend to back a no-confidence motion over the budget.
