Divided during the vote on the last motion of censure, the left-wing parties are trying to resume a common march.
The deputies of the groups forming the Nupes announced that they had filed an appeal on Friday before the Constitutional Council to challenge the reform of unemployment insurance adopted in Parliament, which according to them "undermines the principle of fraternity" and creates "a breach of equality ".
The bill paving the way for a modulation of unemployment insurance according to the economic situation was finally adopted Thursday, following a vote in the Senate.
The agreement reached with the right allowed the government to dispense with the 49.3 weapon.
A major attack on the principle of fraternity
But the parliamentary groups of La France insoumise, the Socialist Party, the Ecologists and the Democratic and Republican Left (Communists and deputies from overseas) believe in a press release that "this bill infringes the rights and freedoms that the Constitution guarantees, in particular to the principle of fraternity”.
According to the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes), "the possibility given to the government to decide by decree on the rules of unemployment insurance, without restriction, and bypassing the social partners, calls into question the right of workers to participate in the determination collectively of their working conditions.
That the government can modulate according to the situation "deprives the insured of rights for which they have nevertheless contributed" and "brings a major attack on the principle of fraternity by conditioning the best social protection of some by the unemployment insurance scheme on the involuntary job loss of others,” say the leftist MPs.

Consultation is underway with the social partners with a view to applying modulation at the start of 2023, and the government will announce “the arbitrations adopted” on Monday.
