The National Assembly rejects a motion of censure presented by the Socialists against the Bayroun government

The French National Assembly has rejected on Wednesday a motion of censure presented by the Socialist Party against the Government of Prime Minister François Bayrou for his controversial statements at the end of January about migration.

The text has only received 181 votes, far from the absolute majority set at 289, since the extreme right has not supported the initiative. This is the sixth motion of censure that Bayrou is faced since he assumed the position of Prime Minister, according to the BFM TV chain.

Bayrou assured in statements to the LCI station that the presence of migrants is “positive” for a country “whenever it does not exceed a certain proportion.” “From the moment you have the feeling of being submerged, of not recognizing your country, in their way of life or their culture, from that moment there is a rejection,” he said.

The leftist parties condemned these words, referring to the fact that the language used by the prime minister is frequently used by the extreme right, especially due to the fact that he refers to the theories of the conspiracy of the ‘great replacement’.

The majority of socialist deputies have abandoned the Chamber at the time Bayrou has taken the floor in a tense national assembly. “It is the first time that I see a party that presents a motion of censure to leave the assembly during the debate of its own motion of censure,” he has ironic, as ‘Le Figaro’ has collected.

The leader of the Socialists, Olivier Faure, has denounced the “Trumpiana” of Bayrou, which has finally managed to give ‘green light’ this week to the budgets in the middle of a rain of censorship motions presented by the left in retaliation to activate The constitutional mechanism that allows you to approve legislative initiatives without vote in the Assembly.
