And yet it is our mandate”, he explained. However, he does not wish to question Elisabeth Borne. “Her team and the Prime Minister are in their place today and probably tomorrow. Ms. Élisabeth Borne is a very good Prime Minister”he said.

Éric Bothorel believes that the presidential majority “should” a vote “to opposition and opponents”. The MP has observed in Lannion in his constituency for weeks “dignified and regular massive movements”. He prefers “these disputes that take these forms, which are respectful” that “finally, the chaos of those who will take this pretext to go on radical forms of demonstration.”

One or more motions of censure will be tabled this Friday by opposition parties and voted on Monday. “I dare to hope that no Renaissance deputy will vote for it. Whether there are lying shooters or feverish people who join it, it’s not very glorious. I’m thinking of the LRs”he pointed out.
