In Bordeaux, Marine Le Pen is calling for an increasingly liberal and authoritarian "alternation"

Contempt is the only response to an angry people. A few days after refusing to support the social movement of September 10 , Marine Le Pen denigrated it in insulting terms on Sunday. For the National Rally MP, the promoters of this mobilization are nothing more than "carnival Cheguevarists who are trying to block the country by having hooded petty bourgeoisie burn garbage cans."

Terms reminiscent of Nicolas Sarkozy or Emmanuel Macron , from a politician who nevertheless claims to be a "representative of the people." Words she used again this Sunday, during a meeting organized in Bordeaux. Hoping for the organization of national elections in the near future, she developed part of her political project.

With, among the priorities, "reviving purchasing power and freeing up growth" . However, she did not add any proposals on the first point but developed the second, notably demanding "reducing the tax burden and the standards that stifle our businesses" .

Marine Le Pen's now-unapologetic liberalism was also expressed in the development of her budget plan. While she did not refer to Javier Milei's chainsaw—unlike her ally Éric Ciotti—the leader of the French far right promises to wage war on the state.

For Marine Le Pen, the priorities must be to eliminate "dogmatic and toxic policies for the country and reduce its expensive lifestyle" by putting an end to "dozens of agencies, committees, regulators" . Without forgetting, of course, to "make massive savings on social security immigration" and "establish national priority for housing, social benefits, family allowances" .

To achieve this, the MP wants to gain rapid access to power, if possible through early legislative elections before the 2027 presidential election – in which she will not be able to participate if, in spring 2026, the Paris Court of Appeal confirms her ineligibility .

"What we will start tomorrow from Matignon, we will amplify later at the Élysée," she hopes. While denigrating any project of a ^Sixth Republic, she pleaded for "a return to the spirit and the letter of the ^Fifth Republic and therefore a return to the ballot box."

But, to precipitate a dissolution, will she order her troops in the National Assembly to vote, a priori, for censure against Sébastien Lecornu and his future government? She did not respond on stage and remains mysterious off it. Because at the National Rally, everything is a matter of electoral strategy.

Targeting a bourgeois vote from the right, she has feared for over a year that she will appear as a factor of institutional instability. Censorship could then only come with the budget vote, after having staged a negotiation with the Macronists.

"There are 5% of our electorate who need to be reassured, to see that we are trying to negotiate. For retirees in particular, this coquettishness counts," a Le Pen party official told France Info. The interests of the French people don't matter.
