The adoption of this motion of censure tabled on Wednesday is unlikely, for lack of support from the forces of the right.


Let the debates begin.

The motion of censure of the left alliance Nupes against the government of Elisabeth Borne will be debated and put to the vote Monday from 4 p.m. in the National Assembly, we learned this Thursday from a parliamentary source.

This timetable for this motion tabled on Wednesday, just before the Prime Minister's general policy statement, was set at the Assembly Presidents' Conference.

Its adoption is very unlikely, the RN and LR not supporting it.

Consequently, the start of the examination of the health bill allowing the maintenance of "braking measures" against Covid-19 is postponed to Monday evening from 9:30 p.m.

"In the absence of a vote of confidence", which was not requested by the Prime Minister who does not have an absolute majority in the Assembly, "we have no choice but to submit this motion of distrust”, justify the LFI, PS, environmentalist and communist groups, allies in the Nupes coalition, in their text.

They thus intend to put “each and everyone face to face with their responsibilities”, explained the president of the deputies LFI Mathilde Panot.

The speaker from the LFI-Nupes group will speak first, before the government intervenes.

Speakers from the other groups will then speak in turn for a total duration of approximately 2h30.

The ballot, organized in the rooms adjoining the hemicycle, will then be opened at the end of the debate for 30 minutes.

Only MPs in favor of the motion will participate.

To bring down the government, an absolute majority must be gathered, which seems very unlikely for lack of a rallying of the oppositions.

The left alliance Nupes brings together 151 deputies (one deputy did not however sign the text of the motion, the socialist Dominique Potier).

The RN (89 deputies) and LR (62) groups have already indicated that they do not plan to vote on the motion.

More than 100 motions of censure have been tabled since 1958, but only one was adopted, in 1962, which brought down the government of Georges Pompidou.
