France’s Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally (RN) party has threatened to topple the country’s fragile coalition government if her party’s concerns over the cost of living are not included in the country’s 2025 Budget.

Ms Le Pen said that RN opposes increasing the tax burden on households, entrepreneurs or pensioners and that these demands were not yet reflected in the upcoming budget.
