"There still is a feeling that our borders are sieves and that migration flows aren't being controlled," Barnier said in an interview on Friday.
Macron's attempt to appeal to the right seems to have succeeded for now. Jordan Bardella, the parliamentary leader of the RN, said his party would not vote to censure and topple Barnier's government but will judge it 'on its merits.'
It appears that the French have breathed a collective sigh of relief as they have a functioning parliament for the first time since June.
A poll by France's BFMTV network shows that 73 percent of the French support this move by the RN not to immediately censure Barnier's government, in spite of Barnier's nomination receiving only 40 percent approval.
