PS censorship motion against Bayrou in front of his rhetoric on immigration

In the National Assembly, the socialists embarked on a only symbolic initiative. PS deputies deposited their censorship motion on Monday against the government of François Bayrou, accusing him of “yielding to sad passions of the extreme right”. But it should not reach the majority in the hemicycle.

This motion had been announced by the PS group after its renunciation to censor the government on budgets, and presented as a response to the “trumping” of the public debate and the expression of migratory “submersion”, used by the Prime Minister for Talking about Mayotte. “The Prime Minister has taken over the fatal words of Jean-Marie Le Pen,” criticize the socialists in the text, signed by all deputies according to a source in the group.

Retailing in the PS viewfinder

Qualifying the extreme right of “deadly enemy of the Republic”, they criticize the government for having “gave up” to its “sad passions” by “offering unprecedented cultural victories to the national rally that it is supposed to fight”. In their viewfinder in particular: the debate on the right of the soil suggested by the Keeper of the Seals Gérald Darmanin and the support for a LR text restricting the law of the soil in Mayotte, adopted in the Assembly with voices of the former macronist macronist .

Accusing the government of being “the accelerator of many political and moral sagging”, they also criticize the Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau for having considered that “the rule of law has been devoured” by a legal decision announcing The expulsion of the Algerian influencer Doualemn.

A motion dedicated to failure

The socialists also evoke the Betharram affair in their text, believing that “the Prime Minister cannot evade the legitimate questions of the victims and their relatives, the national representation and the press”. They also castigate adoption at the Assembly, on the initiative of ex-Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, a text on the justice of minors, of a “decriminalization of biodiversity damage” carried by the right senatorial, or “the questioning of the green pact” at European level.

Examination of the censorship motion should take place on Wednesday, at best at the end of the afternoon, but it has no chance of succeeding without the voices of the national rally. “We will not vote it because the Socialist Party has deposited it for a single reason: to return and challenge the comments of common sense, even if they are insufficient, of the Prime Minister,” said the spokesman on Sunday of the RN Thomas household group.
