The NUPS alone against all. At the National Assembly, the new ecological and social popular union failed to rally all the oppositions to overthrow the government of Elisabeth Borne, with her censorship motion debated on Monday 11 July. But was it really his goal?
By being the first to speak in front of a sparse hemicycle, the leader of the group La France Insoumise (LFI), Mathilde Panot, praised in her diatibe a “political clarification”. “This vote will bring to light those who want to deliver social and ecological war with you and those who will lead the battle against you. Colleagues choose!”, She concluded, facing the Prime Minister, of which she has a new once challenged the maintenance in Matignon.
“You do not draw your legitimacy either from the legislative elections or even from the Parliament (…). You are, at this function, a democratic anomaly”, criticized the deputy of Val-de-Marne, recalling that the motion of censorship DE LA NUPES was motivated by Elisabeth Borne’s refusal to submit to a vote of confidence at the end of her declaration of general policy, July 6.
While only deputies favorable to the motion of censorship could take part in the vote, the clip did not refuel in its ranks. Of the 151 deputies, 145 voted for, far from the absolute majority set at 289. If three groups of the cloud (the “rebellious”, the environmentalists and the communists) unanimously adopted the motion of censorship, within Socialists, six elected officials-the ex-president of the Socialist Party group (PS), Valérie Rabault (Tarn-et-Garonne), Joël Aviragnet (Haute-Garonne), Bertrand Petit (Pas-de-Calais), Dominique Potier ( Meurthe-et-Moselle), Hervé Saulignac (Ardèche) and Cécile Untermaier (Saône-et-Loire)-were lacking at the time of the ballot.
Apart from the Nuts, the far-right deputy Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (Essonne) joined the censorship motion. “The Congress of the Nuts is officially finished,” said government spokesperson Olivier Véran, welcoming a “new defeat for [LFI leader] Jean-Luc Mélenchon”.
Face- Overwhelmed with Elisabeth Borne
As some feared on the left, the episode made it possible to mechanically strengthen the position of Elisabeth Borne. She delivered a very offensive discourse against the Nuts, regretting to find herself in the hemicycle to debate a “motion sewn of trials of intention which hinders parliamentary work”. “Unfortunately, today, it is not the daily life of the French we are talking about,” she said. Accusing the cloud of being “angry with democracy and the result of the ballot boxes”, M terminal tried to overthrow the presumption of illegitimacy advanced by the cloud since the legislative elections. “You have not won, has asserted the Prime Minister. In democracy, it is not the one who has less voices, fewer seats, who is legitimate to govern.”
