Budget: the RN will vote the motion of censure of the Nupes, announces Marine Le Pen

The leader of the RN deputies Marine Le Pen announced Monday in the Assembly that her group would vote in favor of the motion of censure tabled by the left “in acceptable terms” against the government, in addition to her own. She was speaking to the deputies to defend a motion of censure of the RN deputies, which will be the subject of a vote in the evening after that on the motion tabled by the left alliance Nupes.

“Because the national interest guides its words and actions”, the RN group “will also vote for the motion presented in acceptable terms on the other side of the hemicycle”, said Marine Le Pen Le Pen. The previous days, however, she had dismissed “a priori” this hypothesis”, while most of the members of the Nupes had for their part excluded from voting for the motion of the RN.

Rejection of text

The two motions respond to Article 49.3 of the Constitution invoked by the Prime Minister to pass without a vote the revenue part of the finance bill for 2023. The adoption of a motion of censure would result in the rejection of this text, and at the same time would bring down the government. But even with the support of the RN, the motion of the Nupes has almost no chance of being adopted, because the group Les Républicains has ruled out voting for it.

Ms. Le Pen said she was not afraid that a possible government censorship would be followed by a dissolution of the Assembly, a possibility mentioned by Emmanuel Macron. “I say it, so that no one even in high places misunderstands, at the RN we do not fear threats of dissolution,” she said. “In the face of so many failures, in the face of so many uncertainties, the urgency is alternation,” she added.

“This mandate has barely begun and has already taken on the appearance of the end of his reign”

The leader of the RN deputies criticized the presidential camp for having ignored the “thirst for democratic renewal” expressed during the June legislative elections by the French who “decided to place you under the control of Parliament”. Like the Nupes, the RN also criticizes the government for having excluded from the first part of the budget amendments adopted by the Assembly before the activation of 49.3.

With this weapon also activated for the revenue part of the Secu budget, “this mandate has barely begun has already taken on the appearance of the end of his reign”, launched Marine Le Pen Le Pen. She also castigated the launch of the pension reform project; “as if the situation wasn’t flammable enough”. “Has the painful precedent of the + yellow vests + taught you so little?”, She pretended to question.
