If the very slight danger is averted, the macronie has reason to rejoice on this Monday evening.
The motion of censure tabled by the Nupes in the National Assembly did not succeed: only 146 deputies out of the 289 required voted in favor.
Far from the absolute majority necessary to bring down the government.
If the executive does not have a full seat at the Palais Bourbon, it can at least be reassured that it has not gathered a majority against it.
Once the vote passed, the spokesman of the government, Olivier Véran, welcomed in the room of the four columns, dedicated to the journalists, the failure of the project of the left.
“
The Nupes Congress is officially over.
Everyone can be counted.
(...).
We will now be able to work
“, mocks the one who is also Minister Delegate in charge of Democratic Renewal.
The opportunity to put on his role as counter-attacker of the executive, and therefore to scold the former LFI candidate at the Élysée.

While Jean-Luc Mélenchon has built his entire post-presidential strategy on a frontal opposition to Emmanuel Macron - to the point of projecting himself as the future prime minister during the legislative campaign - Olivier Véran is ironic about "
the three consecutive failures
for the leader of the Insoumis.
“
The first, during the presidential election.
The second, during the legislative elections.
And now, this form of internal ballot where he has not succeeded in bringing together even the number of deputies that the Nupes inter-group includes (
151, editor’s note)”, specifies, squeaking, the ephemeral Minister delegate in charge of relations with Parliament in the first government of Elisabeth Borne.
A situation that allows the government to point the finger at a form of opposition blocking strategy.
And to give yourself the beautiful role.
"
It's half a day that has not been devoted in this hemicycle to parliamentary debates at a time when the French are asking us to act for the climate emergency, for purchasing power...
", deplores Olivier Véran.
Among the political groups, neither the right nor the RN wanted to be associated with the Nupes.
Who wish, in fact, to adopt a reasoned and constructive position.
In particular for the party of the nationalist right, which wants to appear as a formation of government.
