The situation is critical for the future of not only the government but the entire French economy…

The political situation is constantly deteriorating, because the opposition parties in the National Assembly, led by Marine Le Pen of the National Rally, have called for a no-confidence vote if the government does not accept amendments that make a tangible difference to the proposed tax increases.

Armand made headlines in September for asserting that the National Rally party was not a party he would deal with, as it was not part of what he called “the republican arc,” instigating French Prime Minister Michel Barnier to even phone Le Pen to apologize for the comment.

Le Pen gave PM Barnier until Monday to accede to her budget demands before she decides whether to topple the government.

How do you say “Tick tock!” in French?
