Outcome | Motion rejected |
A motion of no confidence in the French government of Élisabeth Borne was tabled by the left-wing NUPES coalition on 11 July 2022.[1][2]
The motion was rejected: it received only 146 yes votes out of the 289 needed.[2]
The presidential majority of Emmanuel Macron failed to gain an absolute majority of seats in the 2022 French legislative election on June 19. It was described as a setback for the ruling Ensemble Citoyens coalition and the government of Élisabeth Borne.[3]
According to French MP Bastien Lachaud, the no-confidence motion ″will clarify things. It concerns the method of refusing to ask for confidence. Any member of Parliament who is aware today that this is a denial of democracy can vote for this motion″.
The no-confidence motion received 146 yes votes out of the 289 needed.[2]
