“Denial of democracy”, “political chaos”… LFI deputies leave the Assembly after the activation of article 49.3

The deputies of the left and the far left left the hemicycle of the National Assembly after Michel Barnier initiated article 49.3 of the constitution, not without having booed the Prime Minister copiously beforehand.

“It is now up to you to decide whether we adopt a text or whether we enter unknown territory”explained Michel Barnier. A decision which provoked a strong reaction from LFI, because a majority of left-wing deputies rushed to the exit and left the hemicycle.

“We will censor the government”

“Faced with this umpteenth denial of democracy, we will censor the government. Michel Barnier will go down in history as the one who had the shortest mandate. […] We are experiencing political chaos because of the government of Michel Barnier and the presidency of Emmanuel Macron. explained MP Mathilde Panot to the National Assembly.
