The motion of censure tabled by the Nupes against the government of Elisabeth Borne will be debated and submitted to the vote of the deputies this Monday in the National Assembly.

But this maneuver initiated by the left has no chance of succeeding.

Europe 1 explains why. 

The National Assembly is working this Monday, July 11, 2022 on the motion of censure against the government, tabled on Wednesday July 6 by the deputies of Nupes.

By this process, they intend to show their distrust of the government, which lost the absolute majority in the legislative elections.

LR and RN will not vote for the motion of censure

The Insoumis will present their motion of censure to the National Assembly this Monday afternoon.

Then, Elisabeth Borne will speak in front of the hemicycle, then each group President will explain his position.

It takes two and a half hours of discussions before the deputies in favor of the motion vote.

A vote of no confidence which is not unanimous on the left

There is very little chance that the government will fall.

Only the groups composing the Nupes will vote for this motion of censure.

The Republicans and the National Rally will not.

It takes 289 votes to force Elisabeth Borne to resign, and by adding the four left-wing groups, they only come to 147.

By this vote of no confidence, the united left is trying to show that it is the real opposition.

But it could also show its first cracks.

This vote of no confidence does not satisfy the most moderate of the Nupes, like certain socialists.

Only one motion of censure was passed in the history of the Fifth Republic, out of the 109 tabled.

It was in 1962, the Prime Minister was then called Georges Pompidou.
