Le Pen Vows to 'Censor Everything' From Government, Presses for Dissolution or Macron's Resignation

Her pledge marks a turn from bargaining to blanket obstruction in a hung Assembly.

La cheffe de file du Rassemblement national Marine Le Pen a déclaré mercredi qu’elle «censurerait tout» ce qui émane du gouvernement.
President of the parliamentary group of the French far-right Rassemblement National (RN) party, Marine Le Pen arrives at the Paris courthouse for her trial verdict on suspicion of embezzlement of European public funds, in Paris, on March 31, 2025. A French court sentenced on March 31, 2025 far-right leader Marine Le Pen to a five-year ban on running for office with immediate effect, throwing into doubt her bid to stand for President in 2027.

Overview

  • The RN leader said she would back a suspension of the pension reform if it occurs yet will vote to censure any government measures.
  • She criticized the way former prime minister Élisabeth Borne floated the suspension, calling it a sign of governmental nervousness.
  • She said outgoing prime minister Sébastien Lecornu is overly optimistic to suggest dissolution is receding and judged a return to the polls inevitable.
  • Declaring the "end of recess and the start of the campaign," she spoke to reporters at a livestock summit in Cournon-d'Auvergne in Puy-de-Dôme.
  • She issued a firm ultimatum demanding either dissolution of the National Assembly or the president's resignation and promised to bring down any alternative arrangement.
