China News Agency, Paris, July 11 (Reporter Li Yang) On July 11, local time, the French National Assembly failed to pass a motion of no confidence in the government.

　　The motion of no confidence in the government was launched by the coalition of left-wing parties, the main opposition faction in the French National Assembly.

The National Assembly held a 3-hour debate on this on the 11th, and then voted.

According to the vote, the no-confidence motion was supported by just 146 votes, well below the 289-vote threshold required for an absolute majority in the National Assembly to pass the motion.

　　Before the vote, French public opinion had widely expected that the motion of no confidence in the government would fail to pass the National Assembly.

The far-right party "National League" and the traditional right-wing party, the French Republican Party, made it clear that they refused to support the no-confidence motion launched by the left-wing party coalition.

　　France's ruling party camp lost an absolute majority in the National Assembly in parliamentary elections held last month, putting pressure on the government's governance.

But the ruling party camp still holds a relative majority in the National Assembly (currently 250).

French Prime Minister Borne did not seek a confidence vote in the National Assembly last week.

She called on MPs across the political spectrum to face up to the "urgency and need for action".

　　The failure of the no-confidence motion in the government to pass the National Assembly shows that there is no unity within the coalition of left-wing parties.

According to the vote, five MPs from a coalition of left-wing parties did not support the no-confidence motion.

The left-wing party alliance is composed of the far-left party "Unyielding France", the traditional center-left party French Socialist Party, the French Communist Party and other political parties. It currently has 151 seats in the National Assembly.

　　Borne, speaking at the National Assembly later that day, reiterated that the government is working for the interests of the French people, and criticized the debate and vote on the no-confidence motion as "obstructing the work of the parliament and against the will of the French people."

　　According to the announced work arrangement, the National Assembly will continue to consider the purchasing power bill proposed by the government and related bills in response to the epidemic this week.
