MOTION OF NO CONFIDENCE AGAINST MACRON. FAREWELL EMMANUEL ?

17.03.2023

A group of center-right lawmakers who oppose to Macron filed a no-confidence motion today with the support of at least 58 members of the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament. The ultra-right National Rally also filed a no-confidence motion against the government.

The moves came less than 24 hours after Macron's government invoked special constitutional powers to push through his intended pension reform without a vote in Parliament.

The middle party's no-confidence motion received support from NUPES, a left-wing coalition of socialists, communists and greens. Far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon said on Friday the NUPES had decided to vote for the centrists' motion instead of tabling a motion of its own to increase the chances of approval.

The news is already circulating in The United States.
