'The worst policy would be not to block such a budget', says French far-right leader

French far-right parliamentary leader Marine Le Pen defended her National Rally party's plan to topple the minority government of Michel Barnier as it prepared to back a motion of censure in a standoff over a budget.

"The worst policy would be not to block such a budget," Le Pen said during a debate in parliament, urging lawmakers to vote out the government of President Emmanuel Macron and its "technocratic" choices.
