La France Insoumise is threatening to initiate impeachment proceedings against Emmanuel Macron if he does not appoint Lucie Castets to Matignon, which is causing a division within the New Popular Front.
The Insoumis believe in dismissing Emmanuel Macron if he does not appoint Lucie Castets to Matignon and intend to carry out their threat. “We will use all constitutional means at our disposal to ensure that this undemocratic coup is punished. It is still the basis of our democracy to respect the result of the elections.”said Manuel Bompard, LFI coordinator on RTL.
The initiative was, however, rejected by the allies of La France Insoumise, starting with the First Secretary of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure: “This platform is signed only by the leaders of LFI. It only commits their movement. The response to the appointment of a Prime Minister who is not in conformity with republican tradition is censorship.” The same reservations are made by the Ecologists. In the Constitution, article 68 makes it possible to dismiss the President, but the procedure is complex and has little chance of success.
