🇫🇷 The (now ex) French goverment is suspended after a censure. Emannuel Macron is still president of the Republic.

The goverment was suspended after the decision of Michel Barnier, who was appointed as Prime Minister, to activate the article 49.3 of the French Constitution to approve the new government bill of 2025.

Barnier is the first PM since 1962 to be overthrown. Macron hasn’t yet decided who will succeed him. On the list there are names like Bernard Cazeneuve, Xavier Bertrand and Sebastien Lecornu, minister of armed forces.

In favour of the censure, 331 parliament members voted for while it needed 289 votes and both Right and Left have 332 parliament members.

Both the Left and the Right submitted notions about censure but the one of the left was discussed first since they have more parliamenteric members. The latter discussion of the Right’s proposal was considered unnecessary.

💬 Le consecuences of violating the will of the French People that hard.
