The deputies of the Assembly have been considering since 4 p.m. this Monday the motion of censure tabled by the left alliance Nupes against the government of Elisabeth Borne.
A debate followed by a vote will take place during the day, which will postpone to 9:30 p.m. the start of the examination of the health bill allowing the maintenance of “braking measures” against Covid-19.
"In the absence of a vote of confidence", which was not requested by the Prime Minister who does not have an absolute majority in the Assembly, "we have no choice but to submit this motion of distrust”, justify the LFI, PS, environmentalist and communist groups, allies in the Nupes coalition, in their text tabled on Wednesday.
They thus intend to put “each and everyone face to face with their responsibilities”, explained the president of the deputies LFI Mathilde Panot.
How is it going to happen ?
At 4 p.m., the speaker from the LFI-Nupes group will speak first, before the government intervenes.
Speakers from the other groups will then speak in turn for a total duration of approximately 2.5 hours. The ballot, organized in the rooms adjoining the hemicycle, will then be opened at the end of the debate for 30 minutes.
Only MPs in favor of the motion will participate.
To bring down the government, an absolute majority must be gathered, which seems very unlikely for lack of a rallying of the oppositions.
The left alliance Nupes brings together 151 deputies (one deputy did not however sign the text of the motion, the socialist Dominique Potier).
The RN (89 deputies) and LR (62) groups have already indicated that they do not plan to vote on the motion.
