“Today, there is no alternative majority unless Mrs. Le Pen wants to govern with Mr. Mélenchon”, estimated Friday the boss of the LR deputies, Olivier Marleix, predicting the failure of the motions of censure tabled by the RN and Nupes.
“The French have re-elected President Macron, regardless of the number of motions of censure that we vote, it will not change anything, it is the president who has the responsibility to govern, let him govern and then we will see in a few months where we are, ”explained on France 2 the president of the group to justify the refusal of the LR deputies to vote for censorship.
“I understand that the friends of Mr. Mélenchon or the friends of Mr. Martinez (general secretary of the CGT, editor’s note) want to add a little disorder to the disorder, that we are not counted on to come and swell the procession “, He added, presenting the LR deputies as “useful opponents”.
The motions of censure tabled against the government will be debated Monday afternoon by the National Assembly, after 49.3 activated to pass the first part of the draft state budget without a vote.
Thursday evening, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, again engaged the responsibility of the government through 49.3 on the revenue part of the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS).
“The government is putting itself at risk since it gives the opposition the possibility of possibly filing a motion of censure”, underlined Friday on CNews the Minister of Relations with Parliament, Franck Riester.

Asked about the “zero risk” of seeing them adopted, he replied: “that effectively means that the oppositions have no alternative to offer the country” and that “it is, on a certain number of texts, the coalition of opposites.
“What is serious is not the fact that we are tabling a lot of motions of censure, it is that this government will use 49.3 out of 49.3”, for his part lamented on CNews the deputy LFI Alexis Corbière.
As for the “chances” of seeing the government fall, “it will depend on what becomes of the LR deputies, who are rather becoming the right float of this government”, he estimated.
