According to an Ifop poll of Sunday newspaper, 25% of French people consider that the RN “best embodies the opposition to reform”. They are 23% to think so of the Nupes.
The difference is small, but sufficient to allow the National Rally to claim a victory at the end of the debates on pension reform. An Ifop poll for The JDD revealed on Sunday indicates that behind the unions (43%), the RN “best embodies the opposition to the pension reformaccording to the French. With 25%, Jordan Bardella’s party is slightly ahead of Nupes (23%), and by far Les Républicains (9%), who have posed more as allies. Marine Le Pen (46%) also comes first, ahead of Jean-Luc Mélenchon (43%).
“Our deputies have been beyond reproach“, immediately welcomed the leader of the RN, Jordan Bardella, highlighting on BFMTV a”choice to go on the merits, to propose, to submit this text of law to the referendum opinion“, in reference to the motion tabled upstream of the discussions of the text and that the Nupes did not wish to vote. “Today we embody a credible shield for the French people in the face of government violence“, he assured.

I’m sorry that people don’t see it… I wonder how we can bring it to light because it’s so blatant.»
“Marine Le Pen was totally silent, she slept for ten days, she barely tabled an amendment“, abounded the coordinator of LFI, Manuel Bompard, on France 2. “We have carried the word of the 80% of French people who are opposed to this reform“, he added.
