François Bayrou escaped his eighth censorship motion this Tuesday, July 1.
POLITICS – Happy as a Prime Minister who will spend the summer in Matignon. Let François Bayrou reassure himself: he will not have to look for a roof for the summer season. The Prime Minister, whose fate was in the hands of the deputies this Tuesday, July 1, was not overthrown by the National Assembly and will therefore be able to remain on rue de Varenne (at least) until September. The censorship motion carried by the socialists was voted by 189 deputies. Far from the 289 required.
For this eighth motion of censorship since its entry into office, the Béarnais has (once again) benefited from the leniency of the RN. The far -right party, and its 124 deputies, did not associate themselves with the text of the left. “Censor today would bring nothing to the French”had justified Marine Le Pen earlier during the day.
For the PS, the PCF, LFI and the environmentalists, it was however urgent to get rid of the government. “No more indulgence with regard to François Bayrou. We were betrayed “Fulminates the first secretary of PS Olivier Faure. The failure of the conclave on pensions has changed the socialists, to the point that they now assume a frontal confrontation with the government.
“The whole left at the rendezvous to censor a government that has been overlooked on pensions. And for all RN voters, this vote will serve as a revealer. Le Pen-Bardella are on the social, economic, fiscal field, the extension of Macron-Bayrou »reacted Olivier Faure after the failure of the censorship motion. They thus join the positions of the rest of the left, which voted all the motions of censorship presented since January. “It is happy that the Socialist Party returns to reason”was also delighted the president of the LFI group at the Mathilde Panot assembly on France 2.
A short -term rest
François Bayrou has shown himself annoyed by this change of gear. Flistoring first ” joke “he considered that the socialists “Make a censorship to show that they are in opposition”. “The joke is the Prime Minister who governs us”replied Boris Vallaud. Even François Hollande, however a fervent defender of stability, pressed the button. He explained it in the columns of Parisian. With this vote of censorship, the ex-head of the state wanted above all to send “A warning stroke” And signify that the Prime Minister has failed in his obligations.
The fact remains that François Bayrou’s rest should be short -lived. “This government will not live very long”already predicts the boss of RN Jordan Bardella. If he doesn’t have to be worried about this summer, the start of the school year should be much more stormy. Against budget for 2026, the Prime Minister announced that he wanted to generate 40 billion euros in savings. Which is neither to the taste of the left nor the extreme right. And to make sure, the base on which the government is based continues to crumble every day a little more. Until implosion?
