After the failure of the attempt to repeal the retirement at 64, the left alliance Nupes announced on Thursday the tabling of a motion of censure against the government, with a view to a vote at the beginning of next week in the ‘National Assembly.
Faced with the anti-democratic coup (…) all the groups of the Nupes will carry a motion of censure which should be examined at the beginning of next week, declared before the press the boss of the deputies LFI Mathilde Panot, surrounded of its partners.
The independent group Liot, which carried the proposed repeal law withdrawn Thursday in the face of the impossibility of voting on its flagship measure, has not yet decided whether to join the initiative.
Discussions are still ongoing with this group, whose motion of censure was narrowly rejected in March, said Ms. Panot.
The new motion has a slim chance of bringing down the government.
The groups of Nupes made an oath on Thursday never to give up the fight against retirement at 64 and to continue on our common objective of the right to retirement at 60, added the leader of the LFI group.
We do not conceive that there is an end point to the democratic process as decreed by the Prime Minister, added the boss of the Socialist deputies Boris Vallaud.
He promised to continue whenever possible, by all the means that are ours (…) to fight against this iniquitous reform, believing that in the weeks and months to come, there will be many opportunities to defend the French men and women.
For the leader of the environmental deputies, Cyrielle Chatelain, the government and Emmanuel Macron have used the Constitution against the French.
Communist MP Pierre Dharrville described Thursday’s session of the Assembly as a day of vertigo for the Republic.
The presidential majority, which is not a majority in this hemicycle, decided to prevent the National Assembly from deciding, and from the start it has been its objective, he said. An institutional imbalance is taking hold, which is deeply worrying for democracy.
