A surprising result. The motion of censure filed by the National Group against the social security budget, after the 49.3 initiated by Elisabeth Borne last Wednesday night, was largely rejected. Only 90 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.
Second failure for the RN
The result was hardly doubtful with 89 RN deputies. The only solution for it to have a chance of being adopted: collect the votes of the Nupes and the LR. The two political groups had already closed the door to this option.
Already last Monday, the RN had already failed to pass its motion of censure, after a 49.3 initiated by the Prime Minister on the first part of the budget.
Support for the LFI motion of censure
However, Marine Le Pen had struck a political blow by agreeing to vote by general surprise on the motion of censure presented by Nupes.
She again asked for support this time, through the voice of Sébastien Chenu who defended his party’s motion of censure this Monday afternoon.
Something to shrink to the left and offer a ready-to-use angle of attack to Emmanuel Macron. The president pointed out to France 2 on Wednesday night “the cynicism” and “the disorder” of the Nupes, “hand in hand” with the RN.
split nups
Nupes recalled for its part, like the rebel deputy Clémentine Autain on BFMTV this Monday, that the purchasing power law had been approved with the voices of the far-right group.
It is now up to the motion of censure of La France insoumise to be put to a vote, without the signature of its ecologist, socialist and communist allies. However, the vote of the majority of them is likely.
