“We will censor a government formed by this alliance of the left,” assures François-Xavier Bellamy

For the vice-president of the Republicans party, there is an urgent need to appoint a new executive but he considers that “no political party can claim victory” in the legislative elections. However, “to govern, you need a majority,” he points out.

“We will censor a government formed by this alliance of the left” what is the New Popular Front, assures François-Xavier Bellamy, vice-president of the Les Républicains party, on France Inter on Friday July 12, echoing the Renaissance MP Aurore Bergé who threatened on franceinfo with an immediate motion of censure for any government including a member of La France Insoumise.

Less than a week after the second round of the legislative elections, the MEP considers that“No political party can claim victory” of this election. If the New Popular Front came out on top, for François-Xavier Bellamy the left did not obtain “of majority”gold “To govern, you need a majority.”

He maintains that the LR group, which claims around fifty deputies, has not “no intention of returning to government”and therefore is not “there to claim positions, places”. “With all our determination, we will commit ourselves to prevent minority forces from confiscating this election and to avoid a government made up of left and far-left forces”, he says.

“One way out would be to find, to identify, and this is the responsibility of the President of the Republic, a Prime Minister who is above political parties,” argues François-Xavier Bellamy. He believes that there is an urgent need to appoint a new executive after the second round of early legislative elections and the resignation of Gabriel Attal. He thus maintains that “The President of the Republic cannot allow this transition period to last indefinitely.”

For François-Xavier Bellamy, last Sunday’s vote “shows that we need more than ever to rebuild a real right-left divide, a clear, assumed and coherent divide.” He assures that his party’s deputies are standing “ready to submit to the office of the National Assembly [des] bills on the major subjects that France needs”. He thus evokes “issues of immigration, purchasing power and security.” “With Les Républicains, we have proposals to make to other political parties, and in particular to the President of the Republic,” he insists, while defending himself from doing it with an ulterior motive. “Our goal is to say what is urgent for the country, without wanting anything for ourselves or for our party,” he says.
