While the deputies of the four left-wing groups had tabled a motion of censure against Gabriel Attal, the latter received only 124 votes and was therefore largely rejected by the National Assembly. 

The National Assembly on Monday largely rejected the first motion of censure filed against new Prime Minister Gabriel Attal. Tabled by the four left-wing groups, protesting in particular against the fact that Gabriel Attal did not request a vote of confidence from the Assembly, the motion received only 124 votes. In the absence of the support of LR and RN deputies, it therefore fails far from the 289 votes necessary to bring down the government.
