DIRECT. Motions of censure: the government should be overthrown this Wednesday, with the votes of the left and the RN

According to Julien Odoul, the 2025 budget “was macronism and worse”. “It was a fiscal drain (…) we could not accept it,” he declared. For him, “the previous budget (which should apply if the 2025 budget is not adopted) was bad, but was less worse.”

The spokesperson for the RN and deputy for Yonne Julien Odoul confirms on Public Senate that “the entire Marine Le Pen group will vote for censorship” after the “tearful speech” by Michel Barnier at 8 p.m. on TF1 and France 2 Tuesday evening.

The spokesperson for the National Rally, Laure Lavalette, indicates that she will vote “without concern” for the motion of censure targeting the government of Michel Barnier. Invited on the set of TF1, the RN deputy nevertheless rejects any alliance with the left. “The only baroque alliance is the one we saw during the second round of the legislative elections when the Macronists abstained in favor of the NFP and vice versa,” she judges. Before continuing: “We are not asking for the moon. Our priority has always been to protect the purchasing power of the French. We want to save them from this absolutely terrible budget.”

While Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday evening pointed the finger at the PS which has, according to him, lost its “references”, Boris Vallaud retorts that “the one who has lost its reference points is Emmanuel Macron elected twice with our votes against the extreme right. “He put himself in the hands of the RN until he paid the price. »

“The government’s project (on budget) is recessive. It will create an economic crisis,” believes Boris Vallaud. “Everyone’s responsibility is to find a path. »

The president of the PS group in the National Assembly Boris Vallaud believes that Prime Minister Michel Barnier only had words this Tuesday evening for the extreme right and not for the left. He confirms that he will vote for the motion of censure.

The President of the Senate Gérard Larcher, support of Michel Barnier, called on deputies this Tuesday for a “start” to avoid government censorship and “overcome political resentment”, in a column in Le Figaro.

“I call on everyone to surpass themselves for France and to refuse the consequences of political instability and the inconsistencies of a vote of censure,” wrote the president of Les Républicains of the upper house.

The environmentalist senator from Paris Yannick Jadot wants the opening of “a transitional republican pact” between the New Popular Front (NFP) and the “central bloc” in order to “emerge from the chaos created by the president” and because “the country must be governed until the next electoral deadline. “I am talking about a transitional pact, which will first be presented in Parliament. Not a government coalition, in my opinion impossible to build today given the deep differences that exist between these blocs and which will have to be resolved by the next elections,” he declared this Wednesday morning in an interview with Figaro.

Examination of motions of censure will begin from 4 p.m. The vote will take place later, in the late afternoon or early evening. The results will be known immediately afterwards.

In an interview with Le Monde, Olivier Faure assures that he has “never refused dialogue but everything has been refused en bloc”.

The PS secretary does not mince his words and says he is “stunned by the void in substance and choice” of the interview with Michel Barnier on the 20 Hours news on TF1 and France 2 on Tuesday evening.

Cornered, the President of the Republic has come out of his long silence. He says he does not believe in the censorship scenario and rules out resigning. But, behind the scenes, he is already thinking about Barnier's successor.

With two motions of censure examined this Wednesday afternoon in the National Assembly, Michel Barnier knows the fall is coming. That of the left, debated first, will receive the announced support of the deputies of the National Rally (RN) and will gather, barring any drama, around 330 votes, well beyond the 288 required to be adopted. A result which will automatically sign the fall of the Barnier government.

Marine Le Pen deplored on Tuesday that Michel Barnier had included his budget “in the catastrophic continuity of Emmanuel Macron”, estimating that in these conditions he “could only fail”, confirming that the RN will vote to censure the government.

Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the political situation in France. The two motions of censure discussed by the left and the RN will be discussed on Wednesday afternoon.
