The motion of censorship must be voted by the absolute majority of the deputies present at the time of the vote, that is to say 289 votes if all the elected officials sit. The votes of the rebellious, environmentalists and communists bring the number of votes in favor of censorship to 126. If we add the 124 votes of the RN and the 16 votes of its ciotist allies, which are not assured, the supports Censorship go to 266 votes. Still not enough. But it would be enough that 23 of 66 socialist elected officials vote the motion to overthrow François Bayrou and his government. The future of the executive could therefore be played in a handful of votes. The PS and the management of the Socialist Parliamentary Group in the Assembly spoke in favor of non-censure.
Another possible case – but improbable this February 5: if the PS attaches its votes to those of the NFP, the number of supports for censorship would pass to 192. Without the 140 votes of the extreme right, no motion of censorship can succeed. A detail that has not escaped Lepénist deputies as an elected official did Politico : “If there is no agreement with the PS, the spotlights will shine again on us!” He would not have escaped François Bayrou either according to a former macronist minister who considers to 20 minutes that the Prime Minister “now considers that the dynamics of censorship are more in the far right than to left”. However, by turning to the RN, François Bayrou risks committing “the same error as Michel Barnier” censored despite concessions to the far right.
