Part 3/7:
Despite the instances of turmoil, Prime Minister Barer remains defiant. In a recent television appearance, he maintained an optimistic tone, refusing to acknowledge the increasing likelihood of his political demise. While supporters suggest there may still be room for negotiations—particularly concerning a contentious issue raised by opposition leader Marine Le Pen regarding pension indexation linked to inflation—many observers find this scenario improbable.
Barer has so far resisted compromising on critical demands, particularly the pension reform that Le Pen and her constituents have vehemently opposed. The refusal to budge on these issues has solidified the opposition's resolve to vote against him in this pivotal moment.
