“The only sovereignty in France is the people”, explains the rebellious MP. Louis Boyard assures that Elisabeth Borne did not “the majority in the National Assembly” and the government decided “to force through”. At the podium, the Prime Minister denounced the attitude of the Nupes responsible for the chaos in the hemicycle.
“I say to the Prime Minister: ‘It is you who are responsible for the chaos in the country’. You must therefore withdraw the reform or allow a return to the polls. The French are waiting to be able to decide politically.”

Louis Boyard therefore calls for a “referendum or a dissolution of the National Assembly” : “Elisabeth Borne does not have a majority in the National Assembly. We have a problem with the relationship between our institutions and the will of the people. The French are waiting for a change in policy. This change will only happen through a return to the polls. We we are not afraid to return before the people.” The rebellious deputy rejects the accusations of “chaos” of the Prime Minister and says he wants “simply give the voice back to the people”.
