The French government “has put an end to discussions” on possible changes to the social security bill, Marine Le Pen told AFP on Sunday, paving the way for a possible no-confidence vote as soon as Wednesday.
“The government has expressed its wish” not to modify the bill, which is part of the budget to be submitted to the National Assembly, the far-right leader said. “That’s extremely clear and we’ve taken note of that,” she added, responding to an interview given by Budget Minister Laurent Saint-Martin to Le Parisien newspaper.
