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”.
