FRENCH GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES UNDER A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE OF 331 MP’s
Today, Prime Minister Michel Barnier was censured, during his vote of confidence on the presentation of his 2025 budget, this evening at the National Assembly, after 91 days in office.
According to the constitution, Michel Barnier will submit his resignation to the President of the Republic tomorrow morning at 10am. The Head of State, for his part, will address the French at 8:00 p.m., in prime time, on TV
Hundreds of journalists from around the world came to the National Assembly to cover this historic event, a motion of censure that had not taken place since 1962 in the history of the 5th Republic in France.

Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally group, the first group in the National Assembly, voted for the motion of censure against Michel Barnier's government, with her 148 deputies, criticizing Michel Barnier for the lack of compromise and explaining that she did not vote for censure "out of a spirit of revenge or systematic opposition, but because this budget, like fifty others before it, continues on the disastrous path of seven years of Macronism: ever more taxes, ever fewer public services, ever less social protection.

"Today is a historic day, now Emmanuel Macron must go" declared Mathilde Panot, leader of the LFI group, the far left in the National Assembly.

MARINE LE PEN CRITICIZES MICHEL BARNIER FOR HIS LACK OF COMPROMISE ON HIS 5 CONCRETE PROPOSALS AND LITTLE CONSIDERATION FOR HIM

From the first day, we reached out and presented clear and constructive proposals. Five demands to straighten out France:

1. Give back purchasing power to the French.
2. Defend entrepreneurs.
3. Fight against rents, speculation and fraud.
4. Reduce unnecessary state spending and refocus it on its essential missions.
5. Put an end to spending that goes against the will of the people.

Contrary to the lies intended to sow fear, voting for censure does not mean plunging France into chaos. The continuity of the State will be ensured by a special law that will allow the State to function while waiting for a lasting solution.

Censoring this budget is not a whim. It is a duty: to protect the French. The worst policy would have been to accept without saying anything a toxic and dangerous budget for our country.

The RN (National Rally, Far Right) does not associate itself with the extreme left, it uses the democratic tools at its disposal to block a harmful budget. From now on, it is up to the President of the Republic to get France out of the impasse that he h

THOSE WHO VOTED TO CENSOR MICHEL BARNIER'S 2025 BUDGET EXPLAIN WHY
It is an honor to have been Prime Minister and to have served with dignity and honor said Michel Barnier.
Michel Barnier made a toxic budget for the French, the only dignified solution was to refuse it "As for Emmanuel Macron must assume his responsibilities he is largely responsible for the current situation" by insisting on the lack of respect she felt within her political group National Rally "We want our voters to be respected" declared Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally group in the National Assembly.
The government did not want to hear anything, granting only crumbs instead of the ambitious measures that the French expect. We therefore acted with a single compass: the national interest and respect for the mandate entrusted by 11 million voters. "Source: National Rally.
Cyrielle Chatelain, Leader Ecologist MP
"It was more appropriate for Michel Barnier to discuss with Marine Le Pen than with us, the socialists," declared Boris Vallaud, leader of the socialist group in the National Assembly.

Gabriel Attal, the former Prime Minister and group leader of "Ensemble Pour la Republique"
(“Together with the Republic” (President Macron's Political Group) criticizes the vote of this motion of censure "there is so much to say about the daily life of the disoriented French... and when the crisis hits, instability strikes and chaos reigns, it is always the same people who pay. Despite many efforts, you can't change your nature... chaos returns" the former Prime Minister regrets
In response to journalists, Marine le Pen declared
"This is not a victory; it is our duty to protect the French"

The LFI group, far left, asks Emmanuel Macron to resign, through the voice of Mathilde Panot, "Censorship is inevitable, we have defended democracy" She adds "Finally the Barnier government has fallen as well as its violent budget, Mathilde Panot, President of the LFI Group, National Assembly)

THE MOTION OF CENSORSHIP IS A NEW POLITICAL CATACLYSM AFTER THE CENSORSHIP OF JUNE 9, 2024, WANTED BY PR MACRON
Since the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron decided last June to dissolve the National Assembly, where his party Ensemble pour la Republique held 248 deputies, i.e. a relative majority, (absolute majority = 289 deputies out of the total of 577 deputies). The political result was the beginning of a political crisis in France, following legislative elections creating three political blocs composed of 11 political groups within the National Assembly (RN National Rally, Center Right, NFP New Popular Front). The consequence is that no political party has a majority in the National Assembly.

After this summer earthquake, three months later, it is a cataclysm caused by the fall of the government of Michel Barnier, with 331 votes against the Prime Minister - much more than the 289 required....This vote of non-confidence, led to the fall of the government that had presented the PLFSS budget 2025, (Programming of Law `Finance for Social Security, and PLF) via article 49.3. The future ex Prime Minister Michel Barnier (Right) is going to go Thursday morning to the Elysee, to officially submit the resignation of his government to the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron. The Head of State will deliver a short televised address the same evening at 8:00 p.m., three days before the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the result of an extraordinary five-year project to revive the beauty and influence of this legendary cathedral, dear to the French writer Victor Hugo.
