• Uncertainty exists over the continuation of Michel Barnier's government towards winter.
• The Rassemblement National party threatens to overthrow the government if Article 49.3 is applied to the budget.
• Marine Le Pen seeks to influence the content of the 2025 budget and regain her influence after the trial of the FN parliamentary assistants.
• Barnier is under pressure, but it is unclear whether RN and NFP will assume responsibility for a new political crisis.
• The NFP is preparing and the Socialist Party and the unsubordinated left have strategic disagreements.
