These censorship motions have almost no chance of being adopted. They follow the appeal of the 49.3 by the Prime Minister, to pass the first part of the state budget without vote.

In a column at Sunday Journal , 53 deputies Les Républicains and related will not vote the motions of censorship of the new Ecological and Social People’s Popular Union (Nuts) and the National Rally (RN) on the 2023 budget Monday October 24 in the National Assembly.
“Because we respect the vote of the French of June 19, and the new National Assembly has sat eight weeks, we will not deposit and we will not vote for censorship”, write these 53 deputies, out of the 62 that counts The LR group. “We have been experiencing an economic and energy crisis for a few months, inflation reactivates the social crisis. Adding a political and institutional crisis would be irresponsible,” they insist, in this text on the initiative of the deputy of the Ardennes Pierre Cordier and published on The JDD site on Saturday evening.
These motions of censorship of the NUPS and the RN, which have almost no chance of being adopted, respond to the constitutional weapon of the 49.3 used Wednesday by the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, to pass the First part of the state budget, in the absence of an absolute majority for macronists in the assembly.
“We have nothing to do with RN or LFI deputies”
“We have nothing to do with RN or LFI deputies. We are fighting with our convictions and we will continue to put our proposals on the table, on purchasing power, on the cost of energy for companies, on a price shield for households, “said LR deputies in their gallery. “The government will have to learn to hear them. If it has no majority, it is not because the French would have been mistaken by voting, it is because they ask it to learn to listen” , according to them.
These parliamentarians also criticize the government a globally “extremely disappointing” budget:
“President Macron and the Government of Elisabeth Borne contrafects themselves with the recovery of our public finances. This attitude is all the more irresponsible since the rise in interest rates runs a considerable risk on the sustainability of our debt . “
