The man behind the Macron-RN alliance, and a battle for the budget

Thierry Solère, the man who organized dinners between the National Rally and Macron’s camp, is back in the news. He reportedly, and not unpredictably, was the guy who negotiated RN’s tacit agreement with Macron to put Michel Barnier in the driving seat as Prime Minister.

 

And the Finance Commission president Éric Coquerel, and LFI deputy, still hasn’t received key documents from the Economy and Finance Ministry about the 2025 budget. If he doesn’t get them by the end of the day on Monday, he says he’s going to have to head over to the Prime Minister’s office to pry them out in person.
