The far-right National Rally (RN) party threatens a no-confidence vote over a budget dispute that could topple Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government. RN president Jordan Bardella stated that unless there is a last-minute miracle regarding the proposed 2025 social security budget, they will trigger the motion. The budget aims to save €60 billion through tax increases and spending cuts. The RN, as the largest party in the National Assembly, holds significant power over the budget's fate. Barnier's government has made some concessions but faces criticism from the RN. A no-confidence vote could lead to serious financial market turbulence. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
