The deputies of the independent group Liot announced the tabling in the National Assembly of a motion of censure co-signed by elected representatives of the Nupes, Friday, March 17, in response to the triggering of 49.3 by Elisabeth Borne to adopt the pension reform.

Elisabeth Borne's government will therefore have to face two motions of censure tabled in the Assembly after the government's appeal to 49.3 on pension reform. The first, transpartisan, is co-signed by MPs from the independent Liot group and the four groups belonging to the Nupes. The second will be tabled only by the National Rally (RN - far right). Both motions will likely be considered on Monday, March 20.
The main question of this new parliamentary episode is who will vote in favour of these motions? And can we envisage that a motion of censure gathers enough MPs to bring down the government?
Jean-Luc Mélenchon interviewed on France Inter on March 17 indicated that the rebellious France would support the transpartisan motion of censure of the group of independents (Liot) in the National Assembly.
