Gabriel Attal had not started his speech on Tuesday when, already, a first threat hovered over the head of the new prime minister.
The 146 left-wing deputies tabled a motion of censure, in the absence of a vote of confidence called by the head of government after his general policy speech.
A text that the National Rally (RN) will
“probably not vote for”
, said the RN vice-president of the National Assembly, Sébastien Chenu.

“Because we are censoring a text, a policy, a direction, but there we had a pile of measures. As in any catalog, there are things that may seem more or less interesting, some that should hold our attention, and many others with which we disagree. But there is no political axis
,” the Northern MP justified this Wednesday, speaking to France Inter.
Which will not prevent the Marinist troops from
“fighting”
this new government, he said.
“We are the best and most structured opponents of Emmanuel Macron’s policies.”
A few hours before the Prime Minister's speech, the spokesperson for the RN, Laurent Jacobelli, nevertheless considered it
"possible
" on Franceinfo that the party would file a motion of censure.
Without the reinforcement of the 88 Marinist deputies, the hopes of the left fade away.
They must also count on the benches of the Republicans (LR), who should not add their vote to those of the Nupes.
Tuesday morning, in a group meeting, several LR deputies nevertheless mentioned the possible tabling of a motion of censure, without materializing the threat.
The task is all the more complicated because, to overthrow the government, a motion must receive an absolute majority, or 289 votes.
Gabriel Attal should therefore unsurprisingly escape this first danger.
