Put pressure on the government. While several elected officials from RN, LFI and Liot called this week for the resignation of Emmanuel Macron to get out of the current political crisis, which de facto leads to an early presidential election, wrote the coordinator of La Francia Insumisa (LFI), Manuel Bompard. a letter addressed to the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, on behalf of his party, which BFMTV was able to consult this Friday, November 29.
“I would like to ask you to inform the different political forces about the preparations to organize an (early presidential) election,” he asks in his letter.
“I thank you for being kind enough to communicate the status of your preparatory work to the different political forces that contribute to the expression of the vote,” he asks, arguing with Bruno Retailleau that “Minister of the Interior, you are responsible for organizing the elections.” .
Manuel Bompard asks the Minister, in particular, for details on the collection of sponsorships, the printing of electoral materials and the deadline for registering voters on the electoral lists.
“Mr. Barnier will fall, that’s for sure,” said Manuel Bompard shortly before this Friday on BFMTV-RMC, ensuring that Jean-Luc Mélenchon is “better placed” on the left in the event of early presidential elections.
An “open political crisis” for Macron, according to Bompard
For the elected of Bouches-du-Rhône, the question of a possible early presidential election arises due to the current “political crisis”, which he accuses Emmanuel Macron of having “opened with the dissolution of the National Assembly” on June 9.
Manuel Bompard states that this situation “could lead in the coming days to the censure of the Barnier government”, while the examination of a motion of censure could begin on Wednesday, December 4.
“Therefore, an early presidential election should take place between 20 and 35 days after the president resigns,” anticipates the rebel elected official.
Call for Macron’s resignation
The general rapporteur of the budget of the Assembly, the centrist Charles de Courson, and the mayor of LR de Maux, Jean-François Copé, called on Wednesday for the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron to get out of the crisis caused by the dissolution of the National Assembly .
Whoever is the appointed minister “will not have a majority. The only solution would be the resignation of the president,” said Charles de Courson in particular.
According to a poll by Elabe for BFMTV published on Wednesday, a large majority of French people (63%) believe that the President of the Republic should resign if the Government were censured, and just over half of them (53%) consider it be responsible for the current political situation.
A paralyzed Assembly
The Government could activate article 49.3 of the Constitution on Monday to approve the Social Security financing bill for 2025 without a vote in the Assembly, exposing itself to censure by deputies.
Since the dissolution of the National Assembly last June, the chamber is divided into three blocks without a solid majority. A new dissolution will only be possible within the year following the election.
Prime Minister Michel Barnier warned parliamentarians in case of censorship by his government. “There will be a storm, serious turbulence in the financial markets,” he warned.
