between citizen mobilizations and motions of censure, a decisive week for the government

Monday, March 20 will be a decisive day in the National Assembly. At the end of the afternoon, the adoption of the pension reform will be, or not, adopted. Last Thursday, the Prime Minister used 49-3 to pass the highly contested text without a vote. Two motions of censure were tabled. The first, by the RN, has very little chance of succeeding. The second, transpartisan, was filed by the independents of LIOT and recorded by NUPES.

Little chance that the motion succeeds

For her to pass, she will have to collect 287 votes. The presidential camp has 250, and all the oppositions combined 257. With 61 votes, the LRs hold the key to the ballot. For now, only a handful of LR deputies have said they would vote against the government. Insubordinate France continues to hope for their support. “The decision, we can still hope for from a Gaullist group, in any case which claims this story, is that at some point, they say: ‘Basta, we’re not for that'”declared Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of France Insoumise, to the Grand Jury LCI / RTL / Le Figaro on the morning of Sunday 19.
