Highlights: The leader of the French National Party, Marine Le Pen, is in Brussels for a meeting of the European Council of Ministers. She is expected to discuss the 'Green Deal' with the European Commission, which wants to reduce the amount of money spent on the EU budget. The European Commission has said it will consider the proposal if it is approved by the European Court of Human Rights. The EU Commission is also considering a proposal by the Dutch government to cut the budget for the European Union by 20% to 20%.

Marine Le Pen is going to the Salon de l'Agriculture this Wednesday, 24 hours after the visit of the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, and four days after the - stormy - visit of Emmanuel Macron. The leader of the RN deputies was warmly welcomed and did not hold back when discussing the European Green Deal.

Marine Le Pen is going to the Salon de l'Agriculture this Wednesday, 24 hours after the visit of the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, and four days after the - stormy - visit of Emmanuel Macron.
The leader of the RN deputies was warmly welcomed and did not hold back when discussing the European Green Deal.

The parade of politicians continues at the Salon de l'Agriculture.

This Wednesday, it's Marine Le Pen's turn to stroll the aisles.

A stroll which has all the makings of a European campaign for the leader of the deputies of the National Rally, with the central theme so far, agriculture.

The former boss of the RN is interrupted very regularly, if not all the time, by visitors who stop to take a photo and greet her.

Many journalists are also present.

A great opportunity for Marine Le Pen to put forward her vision of agriculture, as opposed to the green deal, the "Green deal", a strategy of "agricultural decline" advocated, according to her, by Brussels.

The Green Deal, “a profound injustice”

“The big battles we are waging are against the green pact. It is a policy of degrowth, of an announced drop in agricultural production. It is a profound injustice done to farmers and economic and political stupidity” , she thundered.

During a speech, Marine Le Pen should speak on floor prices, the proposal made by Emmanuel Macron this Saturday.

She seems to be in favor of it while Jordan Bardella said, at the start of the week, that he was rather opposed to this solution.

A slight dissonance which does not really upset the very warm welcome received by Marine Le Pen at the Salon de l'Agriculture.
