Gabriel Attal delivers his general policy speech to the National Assembly on Tuesday afternoon. In the absence of an absolute majority, this speech will not be followed by a vote of confidence. The left is already ready to draw a motion of censure, even if the other camps will not sign it, they are not left out.

A first motion of censure, as a welcome gift, is planned for Gabriel Attal after his speech to the National Assembly on Tuesday January 30. The Prime Minister is due to begin his general policy statement at 3 p.m. The motion of censure which will follow will be signed LFI, ecologists, PC, PS, and will be tabled Tuesday afternoon, even if the socialists have yet to formally approve it at a group meeting. The text, written by the Insoumis, is already finalized even before the Prime Minister takes the podium. Beyond the political background of the speech, which is unlikely to lead to the support of Nupes, it is the fact that Gabriel Attal does not ask for the confidence of the deputies that the left wants to sanction.
Nupes plans to make one “motion of no confidence”. She is counting on an examination in the hemicycle on Thursday. A time limit must always be respected between submission and examination. The vote will therefore not take place following Gabriel Attal’s speech. “This is rottenadmits a socialist, but to vote this evening, the motion would have had to be tabled last week”. The scope of a deferred vote will necessarily be reduced, even if LFI wants to take advantage of it to “show who is really in the opposition”.
The right and the RN delay their reactions
The left has little chance in its desire to overthrow the government. For the motion of censure to be adopted, the reinforcement of the RN and LR would be necessary. 15 days ago, Marine Le Pen saw no point in overthrowing a barely appointed government. Since then, his troops have said that “everything is possible”, also leaving the threat of a motion of censure stamped RN. But the right will not submit one and does not want to vote for the left. Despite the arguments brandished at Nupes: “LR was stung by Rachida Dati”, “LR was fooled on the immigration law”. These arguments are insufficient to convince LR: “I still prefer Attal to Mélenchon Prime Minister”, retorts a deputy.
Not censoring the government does not mean supporting Gabriel Attal. “We reserve ourselves for the futuresays an LR leader, the answer to what they did will come at some point.”. A member of parliament has some ideas for “bust the government”, but later. For example, they could demand that the revision of the Constitution on abortion be accompanied by a constitutional reform on immigration, “and if the government says no, we vote against it at the Versailles Congress!”. Knowing that nothing passes in Congress without the support of the right.
