The Socialists will not support Bayrou's motion of confidence by compromising the future of the French Government
If progressives and ultra-right-wingers agree on 8 September, the Executive must resign.
The French Socialist Party(PS) has announced that it will not support the motion of confidence scheduled for 8 September byPrime Minister François Bayrou. The Socialists are the fourth political force and, if this were done, the future of the government would be compromised.
"We are not going to vote for confidence in François Bayrou, and he knows it well. After all, he has decided to leave," said PS First Secretary Olivier Faure , recalling that Bayrou has a relative majority, supported by the center and the conservatives.
In the same vein, theultra-right-wing Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchonof France Insumisa (LFI) have advanced that they will vote against the confidence of Bayrou. Thirty environmental MPs will also say no.
Thus, if progressives and ultra-right-wingers agree on 8 September, the Executive should resignand open a new government crisis after 2024, when President Emmanuel Macron called for advanced legislation as a result of his party's coup in Europe.
Faire has described it as "unimaginable" for his group to change its mind and vote in favour or abstain on the motion because the prime minister has given no indication of rejecting some of the general budget measures presented in July, which he has lamented are "the most unfair in history" and which include savings of EUR 44 billion by 2026.
