Highlights: centrist group Liot "seriously thinks" to put on the agenda of the National Assembly. This bill would only need a simple majority to be approved, unlike a motion of censure that requires an absolute majority. Socialist parliamentarians have already proposed a text to this effect in the wake of the partial validation of the Constitutional Council. The next opposition niche is that of the communist deputies at the beginning of May, but they had to submit their texts before the decision of the constitutional council. The Liot group will have to table by April 20 the texts that will constitute their niche.

The centrist group Liot, already at the initiative of a transpartisan motion of censure of the government which had failed by 9 votes, "seriously thinks" to put on the agenda of the National Assembly...

This bill would only need a simple majority to be approved, unlike a motion of censure that requires an absolute majority.

Socialist parliamentarians have already proposed a text to this effect in the wake of the partial validation of the Constitutional Council, to repeal the reform promulgated Friday by Emmanuel Macron.

But the "parliamentary niche" of PS deputies having already passed, they do not have the opportunity to dictate the agenda of a day in the lower house before the next legislature.

Unlike the Liot group, whose "niche" will take place on 8th June next and whose text might be different from that of the socialists, but would have the same purpose.

"We must remember that no one voted on Article 7 in the Assembly, we really think we can win," said a source in the group.

The Liot deputies will have to table by April 20 the texts that will constitute their niche according to a source in the group. Any proposal will then have to be validated by the services of the Assembly in order to be able to appear in the niche of the group.

The next opposition niche is that of the communist deputies at the beginning of May, but they had to submit their texts before the decision of the Constitutional Council.
