Coalition of oppositions that defeat the executive. This is the sequence that unfolded in the National Assembly last week during the review of the 2023 budget. To put an end to it, the government will use article 49.3 at the beginning of the week.
The only way for his opponents to react: unite and jointly vote on a motion of no confidence. To be adopted and therefore overthrow the government, however, it requires a majority vote of the opposition deputies.
A scenario far from possible. For the moment, the only calls in this sense came from the rebel and elected members of the National Group. At the end of September, at the end of a meeting with the Prime Minister, Marine Le Pen assured that the RN deputies would vote on motions of censure “whatever their origin” in the event of a forced step by the Government in pension matters. .
“We have one ourselves”
On the budget, it’s another story. “A priori”, the RN deputies will not vote on the motion of censure planned by the Nupes, indicated Marine Le Pen on BFMTV.
“Us [en] have one ourselves”, explained the president of the RN group to the National Assembly.
This scenario would only materialize if the government uses an amendment to “impose the pension reform in the social security financing bill”, whose examination begins on Thursday, he said.
Therefore, there is no danger to the government. Above all because to be adopted, a motion of censure would require the vote of the Nupes, of the RN, but also of the LR in the current situation.
On the airwaves of Europe 1 on Monday, Alexis Corbière reacted by describing Marine Le Pen as “government life insurance”.
“I hope Mr Macron has thanked Madame Le Pen,” he joked.
