Bayrou expresses his misunderstanding in the face of the country’s blocking threat

POLICY – Prime Minister François Bayrou estimates, in confidences to the Sunday press, that the blocking of the country on September 10, advocated by groups on social networks, cannot be “The answer” to the budgetary crisis, while one of its ministers denounces the “Cynicism” LFI that supports these calls.

“Everyone has the right to protest, but I do not believe that, in front of such a crisis, the response of the French can be to block the country”he said in remarks reported by the Tribune Sunday. “The country is in front of great risks, well, we will block it!” How to defend this? »»he also wonders in The Parisian.

“De Gaulle was right, political forces are obsessed with the next election. And as it is easier to be against … it’s like in the film Asterix and Obelix: Cleopatra mission : Not happy! Not happy! “, He still ironic in the Ile-de-France daily. And conclude: “It is the fall of the cliff or the way to get out of it,” he insists, believing that “only the membership of the French can change things. »»

François Bayrou, who will hold a return press conference on Monday at 4 p.m. on Monday, faces a threat of censorship brandished by the left and the national rally on his budgetary proposals. He must also face these calls to block the country on September 10.

La France Insoumise (LFI) by Jean-Luc Mélenchon has the first decided to support the movement “Let’s block everything”quickly followed by the other left parties.

“General strike”

The Minister of Relations with Parliament Patrick Mignola says he is surprised that the left supports a movement launched, according to him, to denounce the tax pressure that weighs on assets, those who recognize themselves in the slogan “It’s Nicolas who pays” who has flourished in recent months.

“At its source, the September 10 movement appeared as an extension of the mobilization of” Nicolas “”he said in the Sunday newspaper (JDD). “I can only surprise myself that Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who proposes exactly the opposite, self-proclaimed the leader: it is both the expression of immense cynicism and his indisputable talent for recovery”he said.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon wished, during the summer universities of his movement, that the actions of September 10 are transformed into “General strike”.

François Bayrou, who offers budgetary savings of nearly 44 billion euros in 2026, hopes that dialogue with political parties and parliamentary debate can still allow him to escape censorship. “I said that I was ready to hear other proposals (…) But the only thing for me that is not possible is that we give up awareness and the desire to get out of the infernal trap in which we are, that of over -indebtedness”he told AFP.
