A heated debate has erupted in the new French government under the leadership of Michel Barnier over how to deal with Marine Le Pen’s party. The young Minister of Economy and Finance, Antoine Armand, said that he did not want to consult the members of the National Assembly (RN) when considering the budget. For him, the group founded by right-wing terrorists in 1972 is not part of the “republican arc,” which is why he refuses to talk to them.
