National Assembly, live: Aurélien Pradié justifies the refusal of the Republicans to vote for the motion of censure of the Nupes – Le Monde

“You have a totally narrow and even illegitimate government when Ms. Borne does not submit to a vote of parliamentarians”, believes Adrien Quatennens “First of all, we give her a very small chance to give up what she has intention to do. What is going to happen today is a major event, it’s a political earthquake, ”said La France insoumise (LFI) deputy Adrien Quatennens on France 2 on Wednesday morning, about the Prime Minister, while Elisabeth Borne must present today its roadmap to lead national policy to parliamentarians. “You have a President of the Republic elected in April who was defeated in the June legislative elections. You have a Prime Minister, Mrs. Borne, who, taking note of this situation, submits her resignation to the President who refuses it. And so you have a totally narrow and even illegitimate government when Ms. Borne does not submit to a vote by parliamentarians”, estimated the deputy from the North, before adding: “It has been unprecedented for thirty years”, in France, and “it’s a republican tradition. In all the great democracies we do that”. “If there is no vote of confidence, Parliament must be able to vote, including because this vote situates the parliamentarians”, argued Mr. Quatennens, believing that there are only two positions : be for and be in the majority, or vote against and be in the opposition. “On the organization of the elections, in fact, now is the time to question a certain number of things”, he also argued about the presidential election, in particular about the distribution that he judged unequal professions of faith according to the territories and districts, and while Jean-Luc Mélenchon yesterday asked for a parliamentary commission on the organization of the vote during the presidential election. Adrien Quatennens however insisted on the fact that it was not a question of calling into question the very result of the election. On the subject of purchasing power, the deputy asserted that “the rise in prices, there are those who suffer it and those who benefit from it”, returning to the will of the Nupes to tax up to 25% the “superprofits made by large groups, as part of its bill on “social emergency” presented yesterday. “Is Emmanuel Macron ready to put this bill on the agenda and to call on his troops to consider it and, if necessary, vote on it? “, he launched, believing that the threatening blockage comes rather from the presidential camp than from the opposition. Asked about Taha Bouhafs and his accusations against LFI about the opacity surrounding the internal procedure launched against him for “sexual violence”, the deputy from the North replied: “He wants to defend himself, he has the right to do so and therefore he may be heard by our authorities. But I want to warn about one thing: we cannot replace justice. We are a political movement, the decisions we take are precautionary to protect women. But obviously we encourage complainants to file a complaint, including so that the parties cited can defend themselves. »
