Elisabeth Borne barely in place, part of the opposition of the new National Assembly is already calling for her resignation. Monday, June 20, the day after the second round of legislative elections, Mathilde Panot, MP for Val-de-Marne, Alexis Corbière, MP for Seine-Saint-Denis, just like Manuel Bompard, MP for Bouches-du-Rhône, demanded the departure of the leader of the presidential majority in the National Assembly.
Guest of the morning of Sud Radio, Alexis Corbière estimated that the Prime Minister was “totally discredited”given the results of Sunday evening. “It was sent to the box in the worst conditions. She wasn’t really the warlord in this battle. I saw on the posters, his name was never claimed by any candidate. »
The elected judged that the new elected Calvados had not “no authority” and that she had to ” leave “. “Beyond her person, I do not see her appearing before the National Assembly and making a general policy speech and obtaining a majority vote of confidence, so her fate is sealed”added Mr. Corbière.
“What is certain is that Elisabeth Borne is disqualified”
At the microphone of RTL, Mathilde Panot mentioned the “possibility” of a motion of censure against the government, confirmed since, before being more affirmative on the departure of the Prime Minister. “What is certain is that Elisabeth Borne is disqualified. I hope we can get her to leave.”she said.
Manuel Bompard, the new deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône, also demanded, on the set of BFM-TV, the departure of the leader of the majority. “Normally, M.me Borne should go. The first result of yesterday’s legislative election is that the government as constituted by Emmanuel Macron cannot continue to govern as if nothing had happened. »
A departure also desired on the side of the National Rally, formulated by its vice-president, Louis Aliot, Monday morning on France Inter. “No, I don’t believe it, honestly, did he answer the question of the maintenance of Mme Terminal at the head of the government team. I think it’s too low. She’s too weak today to be able to stay. And there, for once, there is a choice of crucial prime minister who must allow political continuity and political stability that today she will not have”, advanced Mr. Aliot. However, after his victory in the 6e constituency of Calvados, nothing constrains Mme Limit to resignation, according to the rules set up by the Elysée.
The battle of the finance commission launched between Nupes and the RN
If the main opposition parties agree to demand the departure of Elisabeth Borne, they are torn on the question of the presidency of the finance committee, traditionally granted to a formation other than the presidential majority.
“Yes, we ask for everything an opposition group is entitled to, the finance committee, of course, the vice-presidency, of coursesaid Marine Le Pen in front of several journalists, Monday morning, in Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais). The first opposition group in the National Assembly will not compromise on any of the means granted, as tradition dictates. » In the eyes of Emmanuel Macron’s former opponent in the second round of the presidential election, the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) – an alliance resulting from an agreement between La France insoumise (LFI), the Socialist Party (PS) , the Communist Party (PCF) and the Ecologists (EELV) – is made up of four distinct parliamentary groups, and cannot therefore claim as such the presidency of this strategic commission. Objections brushed aside by Manon Aubry, LFI MEP, Monday morning on BFM-TV.
“La Nupes is far ahead of the National Rallyshe pointed out. The Nupes is very clear, it will have a candidate in common, all the elected representatives of the Nupes will vote for this common candidate (…) and therefore, in principle, the National Rally, mathematically, cannot obtain this [présidence]. »
“The Finance Committee must constitutionally go to an opposition group, so we will see who is in charge of the Finance Committee, there is no certainty when you read the Constitution”underlined the spokesperson of the government, Olivia Grégoire, re-elected Sunday in the 12e constituency of Paris.
