“We must make this government face its responsibilities. We must censor it”, added this executive from the National Rally, who wanted this motion of censure to be tabled before the European elections on June 9. In the National Assembly, the RN group has 88 deputies, while a motion of censure must gather 289 votes to be adopted and cause the fall of the government.
