LFI will support the motion of censure of the Liot group, announces Jean-Luc Mélenchon

“We have decided to withdraw our own motion of no confidence in favor of Liot’s motion”, says Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France Insoumise on Friday March 17 on France Inter. The LFI group will therefore not file a motion of censure in its own name, after the use of 49.3 by the government, to pass the pension reform without a vote.

For “give the greatest chance to censorship”, LFI undertakes to vote for the transpartisan motion of censure of the Liot group (a group made up of ultramarines, defectors from the left, and centrists). A decision that has been made “Thursday night” by the parliamentary group, specifies Jean-Luc Mélenchon who “refuses the trivialization of 49.3”a measure he deems “extremely brutal”despite being constitutionally legal.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon denounces the inconsistency of the government

“Coherence is that no one wants this reform”he continues, questioned on the possibility that a motion of censure will be voted both by the Nupes, the National Rally, and perhaps by centrist and Republican deputies. “The vote of the motion of censure means nothing other than the refusal of the text on pensions at 64”, believes Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with reference to comments made by Elisabeth Borne, Thursday evening, on TF1. The Prime Minister assured that voting or not the motion of censure amounts to voting “for or against the reform” retirements.

“This text has no parliamentary legitimacy. We are right to revolt, we are right to mobilize”says Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who “encourages” THE “spontaneous mobilizations throughout the country”. According to him, “this text is only worth what the word of someone who is in the minority in the country, the President of the Republic, who does not have a majority in the Assembly” is worth.
