In the published text The Tribune Sunday On August 18, France Insoumise (LFI) threatened to start impeachment proceedings against Emmanuel Macron, who was accused. “Democratic coup” for not “to notice” of the results of the legislative elections in July, where the left alliance came first.

“We give this platform an important role of serious warning”wrote the partners, including the head of the committee, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, its curator, Manuel Bompard, and the president of the LFI committee in the National Assembly, Mathilde Panot. Emmanuel Macron “must know that all constitutional means will be used to remove him rather than submit to his evil action against the fundamental law of democracy: in France, the only master is the popular vote”they insisted.

Consultations at the Elysée on August 23

A few days before Mr. Macron consulted, from Friday August 23, political forces with the intention to form a government, almost a month and a half after the elections, three signatures warn the President, who will be , according to them, “By electing a head of government without regard to the political outcome” of these legislative elections. The left, the coalition within the NFP (193 representatives), is first in the polls, but far from the majority (289 representatives).

But this initiative was quickly ignored on Sunday by other components of the NFP, showing the difference of the new strategy between the “rebel” and his friends. “Only LFI leaders signed this document. It’s just moving them”, commented on the first secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), Olivier Faure. Mr. Faure then wrote to favor the vote on the disciplinary motion in the event of the appointment of a Prime Minister. “which would not be compatible with the liberal culture”. “Beyond what anyone might think about the initiative, impeachment is not valid. He won a two-thirds majority in both assemblies.”he then reply to a user claiming that he did not plan the bidding process.

Election in the Supreme Court

This implementation process must overcome many obstacles. First step: convince the Assembly and Senate – where the right and the center have the majority – to act as the Supreme Court. This includes a proposal which must be approved consecutively by the office of the Assembly (NFP has at least 12 votes out of 22), accepted in the legislative committee then in the hemicycle by two thirds. A similar trip must then be made in the Senate.

Second stage: once the Supreme Court is established, you have one month to rule, by secret ballot, on removal, again by a two-thirds majority. “If this course of action is against Macron’s coercion, it is clear to explain it carefully to our people and use it in an organized way.”argued the authors of the text.

If the LFI, with 72 representatives, can table its resolution alone (it takes a tenth of the 577 representatives to do so), the radical left says it wants to work on “base as much as possible”. “This is why we believe that the leaders of our union and the leaders of the parliamentary groups are there to debate it and make their own decision”they established it, before other colleagues of the NFP distanced themselves from this initiative.
