New taxes in the draft budget, RN in the lead in the polls, The morning news of Monday November 3, 2025

Every day, those in the know debate the news around Agathe Lambret and Renaud Dely.

The themes:

New taxes, tax increases: a tax justice budget or a tax fair, all-round ?

During the examination of the first part of the finance bill in the National Assembly, devoted to State revenues, the deputies approved several new taxes and tax increases: a new tax on unproductive wealth, the increase in the taxation of share buybacks, a tax on the profits of multinationals, a doubling of the tax on Gafam or even the extension of the contribution on high incomes. Is this a welcome direction for building a fiscal justice budget or a demagogic one-upmanship that results in a Frankenstein budget?

Jordan Bardella, big favorite for the 2027 presidential election ?

A poll from the Elabe Institute, published by the Tribune this Sunday, November 2, confirms it: the National Rally appears to be the big favorite in the 2027 presidential election, and even more so Jordan Bardella than Marine Le Pen. The president of the RN is estimated, depending on the configuration, between 35 and 37.5% of voting intentions, or around 20 points ahead of all of his competitors in the first round of the presidential election. He does even better than Marine Le Pen, estimated at 34%. And he is taking advantage of the release of his second book in a year to treat himself to a new book signing tour and numerous appearances in the media. Is Jordan Bardella supporting Marine Le Pen?
