Another vote of no confidence rejected. After a fifth 49.3 triggered by Elisabeth Borne earlier in the week in the revenue part of the Social Security budget, La France insoumise failed to convince the deputies this Friday evening to overthrow the government. He collected only 85 votes, far from the 289 votes needed to overthrow the government.
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 causes the resignation of the Prime Minister and her government.
“This umpteenth passage in force is unacceptable,” the leader of the rebel deputies, Mathilde Panot, had criticized before the press, while the deputies had debated for barely three hours.
Throwback to Thursday night
But the discussions focused less on Social Security and its budget than on the tense atmosphere that has reigned in the National Assembly for the last 24 hours.
On Thursday night, during the examination of an LFI bill, the names of the birds skyrocketed in the chamber, until a “You are going to close it” launched by the Guadeloupean elect Olivier Serva (Liot) in the Renaissance group.
By suspending sessions and amendments, the presidential field exasperated the opposition by preventing the vote on an indomitable text in favor of the reinstatement of caregivers not vaccinated against Covid-19.
On Friday evening, LFI Caroline Fiat hit “the inadmissible image of yesterday’s government” and Minister Olivier Véran “showing off as usual”.
