The National Rally group demanded Monday that a draft amending finance law be “submitted to Parliament within thirty days”, failing which it will table a motion of censure to try to bring down the government.

The National Rally issues an ultimatum to the government. He gives him “thirty days” to submit to Parliament a draft amending finance law (PLFR). Otherwise, he will table a motion of censure. “If at the end of these 30 days the government continues to ignore Parliament, the RN group will then table a motion of censure,” declared the RN deputy for the Somme, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, during a budget debate without a vote in the Assembly, Monday April 29.
This motion of censure would have little chance of being voted for by all the opposition groups, as Jean-Philippe Tanguy himself recognized, castigating the “deleterious sectarianism” of other groups. Stressing that a motion tabled by the Liot group (independents) or Les Républicains would be “more likely to pass and finally overthrow the government”He called “especially” the latter to “finally take responsibility”.
The RN ready to vote on a motion of censure from LR
“For two years now, a large majority of you have allowed the government, through your passivity, to impose its budgetary choices on the French”he denounced, before reaffirming, as he had already said at the beginning of April, that “if the LR group files a motion of censure, the RN group will support it”.
For now, Gabriel Attal has only faced one motion of censure. It was February 5 and it had been widely rejected (124 votes in favour, far from the 289 needed to bring down the government). Her predecessor Elisabeth Borne managed to overcome 31.
