The French parliament has made the unprecedented move after the president appointed a OM from a minority grouping.
A proposal to impeach French President Emmanuel Macron has cleared a major procedural hurdle in the country’s parliament and will proceed to the committee stage for consideration.
The New Popular Front (NPF) coalition, which won the most National Assembly seats in this summer’s legislative elections, but not enough to have a majority, announced the measure earlier this month, after Macron snubbed its candidate for prime minister, Lucie Castets.
He instead appointed former EU commissioner Michel Barnier, from the right wing Les Républicains, which only holds 61 of the 577 National Assembly seats.
More than 80 NPF lawmakers had signed the proposal, satisfying the constitutional requirement to get the backing of at least 10% of the parliament’s 577 members. On Monday, the NPF petition was approved in a 12-10 vote in the Bureau of the National Assembly, the parliamentary managing body.
“Great news,” Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of the largest coalition partner, France Unbowed (LFI), said on X. “Rejecting the result of the universal vote will not remain without consequences for Macron.”
The petition now heads to the Legal Committee, where it will have to be considered. The Assembly is obligated to put it on the agenda within two weeks of the committee’s conclusion, whenever that happens.
Should the resolution make it to the parliament’s agenda, it would mark the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic that the National Assembly would discuss the recall of the head of state, French media have noted.
Impeaching Macron would require a two-thirds vote in the National Assembly, or 385 members. All of the opposition put together has only 364 seats, however. Should it somehow be approved, the resolution would head to the Senate, where it would require 232 votes.
Macron forged a tactical alliance with the NPF in the second round of the legislative elections in July, when it seemed that the right-wing populist National Rally (RN) might triumph. As a result, the NPF came in first with 180 seats, followed by Macron’s bloc with 159, while the number of RN legislators was reduced to 142. The Republicans (LR), which had split over backing the RN, won only 39 seats.
The president initially chose to keep Gabriel Attal as prime minister in a technical mandate, before appointing Michel Barnier of LR on September 5.
He likes to watch
FAAFO.
It would be good riddance to bad rubish.
But i don t think we will be so lucky . Yet.
Barnier is a ” patriot” only in words and really a servant of the EU and is seemingly called as prime minister to finish off France.
The only good info is that the EU might break down and set everybody free.
The whole of europe has had enough of the ” woke culture”, medical meddling and corruption of ursula von der lüge, and censure by diverse ” ministries of Truth”
Some stains just wont go away……
Macron is just a puppet. It’s the puppet and puppet master(s) you want.
What’s with his dual brow?
Is that a CGI making him look funny 🤣🤣🤣.
The full story of a boat called Rainbow Warrior, the French Government agents who attached a bomb to this sea going protest boat whist it was moored in Auckland Harbour. They murdered a person on board. The French agents were caught. The UN brokered a deal. The French paid $8 million dollars to Greenpeace and $30 million to NZ Government. The agents were released to France.
Nothing has changed with guys like Macron and the UN. Sadly, our generation, our children are to be cast into a war only the super elite want.
