The First minister will deliver his general policy speech to the National Assembly on Wednesday, July 6. Elisabeth Borne will not seek the vote of confidence, for lack of an assured majority. She is not the first to give it up.
Monday July 4, Olivier Véran, the government spokesperson, has announced that Elisabeth Borne will not seek the confidence of parliamentarians during her general policy speech before the National Assembly, scheduled for Wednesday, July 6. Without an absolute majority, the risk was too great of seeing the government overthrown. For the far right, this is not a surprise. The Republicans consider them that there was noother solution, and it’s not the first to do so.
Indeed, before Elizabeth Terminal, four First ministers did not ask for the confidence of parliamentarians. Each time, it was against a fragile majority. Pierre Bérégovoy in 1992, Édith Cresson in 1991 and Michel Rocard in 1988. At the time in the majority, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had sided with this decision, but not this time. To mark their disagreement, the deputies of the Nudes matter table a motion of censure against the government. She has little chance to complete for the time being.
