“All opposition movements must put the interest of the French (…) before the interest of the political parties,” he said in “Touche pas à mon poste.”
“I know there are a lot of people in the Republicans who are wavering,” he added. The MEP called on the LR parliamentarians to “have the courage to resist the pressure and the macronie”.
“Stop sectarianism”
Bardella declared that “in the event of the dissolution of the National Assembly, the National Group will not present candidates in the constituencies where the Republican deputies would vote with us on the motion of censure.”
“I’m not buying votes, I’m saying stop the bigotry,” he said.

LR’s Essential Voices
Two no-confidence motions were filed on Friday in an attempt to overthrow the government, a day after its decision to use 49.3 to push through the hotly contested pension reform. The RN group filed one, while the Liot group filed a “cross-partisan” motion of no confidence co-signed by Nupes elected officials. The latter is more likely to be voted for by right-wing parliamentarians unfavorable to pension reform.
MP RN Laure Lavalette clarified on friday that group will vote on “all the motions of censure presented.” The uncertainty concerns above all the voices of the LR, essential for a motion to be approved. On Thursday, party chairman Eric Ciotti said: “We will not associate ourselves with any vote of no confidence and we will not vote on any vote of no confidence.” However, some right-wing MPs have declared their desire to vote for a motion.
