It is confirmed: Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne won't submit to a confidence vote at the end of her general political speech on Wednesday, 7/7 at the National Assembly. This was announced by Olivier Veran, the government spokesperson, Monday, 7/7, after the Council of Ministers.
Former Minister of Health reminded that the non-use the confidence vote, much criticized by leftists, "was not a first".
Olivier Veran stated that trust is not a priori. It is constructed. The government spokesperson continued, "We are only party with majority." Before you qualify: "But it's relative [...] but we will work text-by-text, the hand is outstretched."
Olivier Veran concluded that "the French have spoken four times and have given their trust to the project presented By the President of The Republic and the Presidential Majority".
La France insoumise announced, via Mathilde Panot, that a motion for censure would have to be filed in the afternoon in protest of the lack of a vote. Mathilde Panot (leader of LFI in the National Assembly) tweeted, "We don't mistreat democracy without impunity". He plans to "come by force", the Prime Minister "before parliament."
"It's not my opinion to want to censor somebody who hasn't begun speaking yet," Mr. Veran replied, "no one has a interest in blocking".
The government of Elisabeth Borne cannot have an absolute majority and must seek majorities according to the text. Olivier Veran said that if the proposals "correspond with the political project [...], which we are undertaking, then we will support them."
