They had “freedom to vote”, according to the leader of the deputies Les Républicins Laurent Wauquiez. This Monday, September 8, the elected officials of the LR expressed themselves in dispersed order about the confidence that will be given to François Bayrou. In the absence of a majority, the Head of Government will resign Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, September 9, after nine months in Matignon.
Among the 49 deputies of the group “Right Republican”, 27 gave their confidence to François Bayrou, 13 opposites and 9 abstained. A shameful choice for LR that wanted to support a government from which the law is a party, while it distanced itself from very unpopular budgetary proposals.
“The observation agrees” but “not in solutions”
Guillaume Leppers, deputy of the 3rd district of Lot-Et-Aeronne, is one of the deputies Les Républicins who did not give his trust to the Head of Government. In a press release, he deplored the lack of “serious” of François Bayrou -method that “he preferred to ask us to sign a white check, even before the debates.”
Through A press release, Guillaume Leppers regrets that “the orientations provided by François Bayrou are only based on those who work or have worked their entire life.”
An argument shared by Ian Boucard. A few minutes before the vote of trust, the deputy of the Belfort territory explained in our antenna “to agree on the observation” of François Bayrou but “do not agree on the solutions they took”, such as “having the effort in the French who work.” For his part, LR deputy of Loira Sylvie Bonnet believes that François Bayrou does not “respond to social emergencies or economic challenges.”
“Threat with the solution is irresponsible. Yes to stability, but with a real limit: revalue work and guarantee social justice,” he writes on his social networks.
Another LR deputy who did not give his trust to the Head of Government: Fabien Di Filippo resorted to Franceinfo a “bad evaluation” of the approval of François Bayrou to Matignon. “Everything that will remain of its evaluation are relatively calamite and truncated debates about the end of the life and abolition of the Pass’Sport,” says the deputy for the 4th district of La Mosela. “He (…) killed the budget debate with this measure in the two vacations that was experienced by France of work,” laments the parliamentarian.
Among the figures of the republican members of the resigning government are the Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, invested by the Right -wing party for the municipal elections in Paris or the president of the Bruno Retailleau party, Minister of the Interior. Will they be renewed by the successor of François Bayrou? The latter will be appointed by Emmanuel Macron “in the next few days,” promises the head of state this Monday night, whom all eyes are now turned.
