The leader of the extreme right Marine Le Pen in a commentary published on Saturday on social networks accused the Macron's political camp of “toxic incompetence”. LFI announced that Bayrou contributed to the lowering of the note. He demanded a vote of trust, unable to count on the majority in parliament and was forced to subside.

On the other hand, the head of the Ministry of the Interior in the outgoing office of Bayrou, Bruno Retailleau stated that lowering the note was a punishment for instability, but warned that the proposals made by the socialist party would worsen the situation. Meanwhile, compromises with socialists are probably the only way to make the new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecorn to create a stable government.

Lecorno admitted in an interview with the regional press, commenting on the decision of the Fitch agency that France “pays for instability.”

The Fitch agency lowered the score of France to A+on Friday evening, with a stable perspective, from the previous AA- note. Depriving of a high note, which is double A, has been caused by political instability, which coincides with budget problems: a high budget deficit and public debt of 114 percent. GDP. France for 18 years, until 2013, had the highest note, or AAA. It means that the country is an extremely solvent debtor.
