“It was close.” The head of the rebel deputies, Mathilde Panot, reacted after the rejection of the motion of censure of the Lecornu II government presented by the LFI. A rejection that was decided by 18 votes, in particular because the Socialist Party refused to vote in favor of this censure. Mathilde Panot denounced “the historical responsibility” of the leaders of the Socialist Party in this non-censorship.
“We will need everyone,” shouts Mathilde Panot. In this sense, La France insoumise calls on “all those, in particular the socialist youth, who wanted the socialists to censure this government, to break ranks with the leadership of the socialist party and come to help the resistance pole.”
Without censure and therefore resignation of the Government, LFI will present this Thursday, October 16, a motion to dismiss the President of the Republic and asks to prepare for the future “electoral confrontation with the extreme right” that is “inevitable.”
For LFI, the PS no longer has the NFP program
“We embody both the alternative to Macronism and also the extreme right around the program of the New Popular Front. More than ever, another world is possible.”
And for Mathilde Panot, the NFP program no longer has the support of the PS, which separated from it by rejecting censorship. “The Socialist Party has taken an act today. And this act is that of a non-censorship agreement with the Macronists,” he assures, although the Socialist Party reserves the right to censure the Government if the final text of the 2026 budget project does not respect the commitments made by Sébastien Lecornu.
Within the Socialist Party, seven rebel deputies voted in favor of the motion of censure despite their party’s directives.
