France is on the brink of political upheaval as debates intensify over the 2025 budget.

The Rassemblement National (RN), led by Marine Le Pen, threatens to censure Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government if the proposed budget negatively impacts French citizens' purchasing power.

This move could destabilize the already fragile coalition between Les Républicains and Macron's party.

Valérie Pécresse, President of the Île-de-France region, criticized Le Pen's actions, suggesting they might be a diversion from her legal troubles.

Meanwhile, Valérie Bazin-Malgras, a deputy from Les Républicains, anticipates the government's fall unless a compromise is reached.

The political landscape remains tense as the government prepares to invoke Article 49.3 to pass the budget without a vote, potentially leading to a motion of censure by RN and left-wing parties.
