For Eric Coquerel, Elisabeth Borne must resign

Without a majority in the National Assembly, can the current government continue its action?

The LFI deputy, Éric Coquerel, was the first to raise the question.

This Sunday he estimated that Elisabeth Borne could no longer "continue to be Prime Minister", for lack of a "majority", ensuring that the opposition would file "a motion of censure" against his government on July 5, the day of the declaration of general policy.

A no-confidence motion is the main means available to a parliament to show its disapproval of government policy and force it to resign.

“Is Ms. Borne illegitimate?

“, he was questioned on France Info.

“It seems obvious to me.

She's the leader of the majority, she doesn't have a majority.

How do you want to continue being prime minister,” he said.

"I don't see what majority (Emmanuel) Macron is going to rely on for his plans for social destruction, because he doesn't even have a relative majority, so I think he's preparing for a complicated five-year term," said he said.

For her part, the Prime Minister announced that she would work "tomorrow to build a majority of action".

“There is no alternative”, she continued, because the country is in her view in an “unprecedented situation”, which “constitutes a risk”.
