Barnier's concessions to Marine Le Pen's far-right agenda signal a broader failure of France's political system and betrays a desperate attempt to placate extremists, undermining the republic's principles. As mainstream parties fail to unify, Le Pen exploits the chaos, consolidating power while eroding democratic norms.
Macron's government continues proving its incompetence, with Barnier's harmful policies leaving the nation with rising borrowing costs, stagnating growth, and declining consumer confidence. It's clear that only the National Rally's pragmatic, growth-focused leadership can restore fiscal stability, protect pensions, and rebuild public trust.
There's a 33.3% chance that Marine Le Pen will be elected President of France in 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
