  • French Prime Minister Michel Barnier said he would try to ram a social security bill through parliament without a vote.

The article from Reuters discusses the latest developments in French politics as of December 2, 2024. Michel Barnier, a former Brexit negotiator and current candidate in the French presidential election, has made a last-minute concession to Marine Le Pen's National Rally party. This move comes as part of a broader strategy to appeal to right-wing voters and potentially form alliances in the upcoming election. Barnier's concession involves softening his stance on certain EU policies, aiming to align more closely with Le Pen's views on national sovereignty and immigration. This political maneuver is seen as an attempt to broaden his voter base and possibly secure a second round in the election, amidst a highly competitive and fragmented political landscape in France.
