Eric Ciotti indicated that his party would not vote for "any", but several MPs are thinking of supporting them.
"We will not associate ourselves with any motion of censure and will not vote any motion of censure," said the boss of the party, saying he did not want to "add chaos to chaos".
"The crisis situation in the country would not tolerate a fatal blow to our democracy and our institutions today: we will never participate in a coalition of extremes whose sole aim is to carry the revolution," Ciotti said.
The deputy of Alpes-Maritimes indicated that the position was retained following a vote of the LR deputies. "All the members who were present agreed with the decision by a very large majority," he said.
But MP Aurélien Pradié, opposed to the reform and in favour of tabling a motion of censure specific to LR, said in the wake that "each MP remains totally free to participate in another motion of censure".
The deputy of the Lot explained not to rule out "any hypothesis by definition", especially about a possible motion carried by the group of independents Liot.

Similarly, Pierre-Henri Dumont said he did not want to associate himself with a motion "signed by members of the RN or LFI", but a Liot motion "is negotiated, discussed", he argued.
Moselle MP Fabien Di Filippo said that "in a personal capacity, (he) will vote for censure".
