Double proof exceeded by the French government . The motions of non-confidence presented by the left and the right against the government on the case of Alexander Benalla – the former bodyguard and collaborator of the president Emmanuel Macron have investigated the violence of May 1 Paris – were rejected. As widely expected, the French National Assembly rejected them both: it was the first time that the opposition had resorted to motions of defiance after the crushing victory of Macron in 2017
The motion that reunited the forces of left was voted by only 74 deputies out of the 289 needed to overthrow the Macron-led government. Also the one presented by the Republicans was rejected despite the support of the deputies of the France Insoumise and Communists. To vote in favor, only 143 deputies out of the 289 needed. The executive fails to fall, also because the party of Macron, The Republic in March (Lrem) has a large majority in the National Assembly.
Both concerned the scandal over President Emmanuel Macron's collaborator filmed during the clash of protesters during May Day clashes. Scandal that has become the biggest political crisis for Macron since entering the Elysee. This was the first time the opposition had resorted to motions of mistrust after Macron's overwhelming victory in 2017. It was also the first time since 1980 that two motions were debated simultaneously. The goal, however, of the opposition, was not to overthrow the executive, but to force him to explain and denounce the existence of a block which prevents the emergence of the truth. The head of the Republican Democratic Left André Chasaigne shouted at the "State Scandal " and not "a summer scandal" as the lawyer of the the old bodyguard. Then the crack: "Instead of punishing his collaborator – he thundered Chbadaigne – Macron protected him.The reality is that this scandal revealed hidden advisers, privileges, favoritism.What feeds the mistrust of the French screw to their leaders ". But it has also "blurred the image of France at the international level".
Counter-offensive of the Majority Leader In March, Richard Ferrand during the debate: "The majority will not be guided by your mediocre maneuvers", he declared, reaffirming the total confidence of " walkers "of Prime Minister Edouard Philippe and the government. "Your motions of censorship – he then always warned against the opposition – will already enter the archives of the National Assembly in the less glorious archives of history." Among the applause of the majority, Ferrand recalled that a "parliamentary inquiry commission was created in 24 hours: many personalities were heard" as witnesses. "At the same time, a judicial inquiry has been opened, and the intensity of this response is proof that the majority wanted to shed light on this case without any obstacles on the part of the executive". "Your attitude – he concluded – reveals your true objective: the will to cut off the heads, to bring down the government and destabilize the President of the Republic." The French Prime Minister, Edouard Philippe, denounced instead a "political manipulation" and a "will to strike" of President Emmanuel Macron. "The sanction was there," thundered Philippe, in his address to the National Assembly, "what we had to do was done".
