the left denounces the speech of an “illegitimate” Prime Minister

The left expected nothing from Michel Barnier’s general policy speech, this “usurper of electoral legitimacy”, says Jean-Luc Mélenchon. This Tuesday, October 1, the representatives of the New Popular Front therefore, in turn, denounced a Prime Minister “illegitimate”appointed to Matignon despite a narrow victory for their alliance in the last legislative elections. Either through happenings, like the rebels who, at the start of Barnier’s speech, brandished electoral cards in the hemicycle of the National Assembly. Or by speech. “Your appointment is the result of a serious political and institutional mistake whose consequences will be profound and lasting. We do not turn the result of universal suffrage into its opposite with impunity. for example, launched the president of the PS group, Boris Vallaud, to Savoyard.

And if some in the left coalition rather welcomed some announcements from the tenant of Matignon such as that of the establishment of“an exceptional contribution” of the “The most fortunate French people”, the alliance remains determined to censor it. The Socialists will table a motion in the coming days which should be debated during next week. To respond to the executive, the rebels are also counting on the dismissal procedure, the examination of which must begin this Wednesday in the Law Committee. However, the procedure which requires three-fifths of Parliament to approve it has no chance of succeeding. The Macronist camp, the right, the National Rally and the Socialist Party have already expressed their opposition to such an initiative.
