Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said Tuesday that the days of France's new government are already numbered, predicting an early presidential election in a few months, APA reports citing France24.
Le Pen, 56, spoke a day after President Emmanuel Macron named a new government under François Bayrou, his fourth prime minister of the year, to drag the second-largest EU economy out of political crisis.
"This moment of temporary political fluctuation... will come to an end as soon as the people, through their sovereign will and collective intelligence, decide to do so," she said in a Christmas Eve video posted on X.
"They will then choose a new path to follow, that of revival and recovery," Le Pen added, a Christmas tree behind her.
That moment will come "as soon as the institutions allow it. That means, as we are all aware, soon -- very soon, in a few months at most," she said.
In an interview with Le Parisien last week, Le Pen said she was "preparing for an early presidential election".
"Emmanuel Macron is finished, or almost," she said. "I'm not trying to be cruel, it is an institutional reality."
