A surprising result. The motion of censure presented by Nupes against the budget, after the 49.3 initiated by Elisabeth Borne, has just been largely rejected. 239 deputies voted in favor.
This device, cited by article 49 of the Constitution, is the main way in which parliamentarians express their disapproval of the executive. If 289 deputies vote in favor, that is, the absolute majority of the National Assembly, it immediately provokes the resignation of the Prime Minister and her government.
Without the voices of the LR, but with those of the RN
The result was hardly in doubt with the 131 Nupe deputies. The only solution so that it has a chance of being adopted: collect the votes of the deputies of the National Association and Les Républicains.
To everyone’s surprise, Marine Le Pen announced that the National Association would vote in favor of the Nupes motion of censure, contrary to what she had said last week on BFMTV. But these votes were insufficient, the union of the deputies of the left and RN did not collect more than 240 votes.
Republicans did not vote for the measure, as they had previously announced. In a column published on Sunday in Le JDD, 53 of the 62 elected confirmed that they did not want to “join the theater of those who speculate on the collapse of the country.”
A motion of censure from the RN without much chance of approval
Now it is the turn to examine the motion of censure of the National Association. It has little more chance of slipping under the caudina forks of the deputies of the left.
Fabien Roussel, the head of the communists had indicated on our antenna last Tuesday that his party’s elected officials would not “vote” on the text presented by Marine Le Pen’s group. Insubordinate France will not give its votes to the RN motion of censure either, as Mathilde Panot, patron saint of the LFI deputies at the Palais-Bourbon gallery, recalled on Monday.
A third motion of censure, initiated this time after 49.3 against the Social Security budget, will be examined this Monday afternoon at 9:30 p.m., with a very likely similar result.
