The Prime Minister of France, Elisabeth Borne, survived this Monday the first motion of no confidence in the Parliament, requested by the left-wing opposition.
The motion, which required 289 votes to pass, was supported by 146 MPs in the 57-member National Parliament. The vote followed a three-hour debate.
The Inflexible France (LFI) party raised the motion against Borne, who leads the minority government. However, the prime minister was not in danger as the other opposition parties declared before the vote that they would not support the motion.
During the debate, the French Prime Minister accused the LFI party of wasting parliamentary time on more important topics.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today we could work for the good of the French people. But instead we are debating the motion of no confidence, which is based on my alleged intentions and which is hindering the work of the Parliament, as well as the desire of the French people.said Borne before the vote.
Borne was appointed prime minister in May by President Emmanuel Macron, just a month before parliamentary elections in which the ruling centrist party lost its majority.
“We will never accept that someone holds the power of this state with the sole legitimacy of being appointed by the president”said LFI lawmaker Alexis Corbiere.
“This is the moment of truth“, said the leader of the LFI Parliamentary Group, Mathilde Panot.
Borne, 61, has made it clear that she plans to depend on the votes of opposition parties to pass the laws she will bring to Parliament, as the right-wing Republican Party is seen as the key to her future.
The support of 62 Republican deputies would be enough for the government to pass all the laws in the French parliament.
