In the middle of a political crisis, trying to trivialize the situation. During a meeting at the Élysée on Tuesday morning, Emmanuel Macron wanted to regain control after the rejection by only 9 votes of the multi-party motion of no confidence to overthrow the government of Elisabeth Borne.
“Winning a vote cannot be presented as a defeat,” said the president during a meeting with the tenors of his majority, according to information from BFMTV.
No Reorganization, Dissolution or Withdrawal
The president thus seeks to minimize the rejection of the motion of no confidence this Monday afternoon in the National Assembly, voted for by the RN, the Nupes, part of the right, and the centrists of the Liot group.
It is urgent that the Head of State regain control as calls for the resignation of his Prime Minister mount. Emmanuel Macron has also ruled out dissolving the National Assembly as LR’s support looks more uncertain than ever in the coming months.
Thus, 19 of the 61 deputies voted in favor of the inter-party motion of no confidence this Monday afternoon, against the opinion of Éric Ciotti, the number 1 of the LR and Olivier Marleix, the head of the right-wing elected officials in the assembly.
The question of a reorganization is not on the table either, assured his entourage, and even less that of a withdrawal from the pension reform.
“Change of Method”
According to one of these participants, he asked his troops to make “within a maximum period of two or three weeks” “proposals” for a “change of method and reform agenda.” The president had already mentioned “a new method of government” after the legislative elections in June.
Emmanuel Macron will speak this Wednesday at noon in a television interview broadcast live on BFMTV. Enough to convince the opposition? After new spontaneous demonstrations often interspersed with tensions with the police on Monday night, the protest continues throughout France, before a new day of inter-union action on Thursday.
