Outcome
Motions defeated
Two motions of no confidence in the minority government of Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne were tabled on 17 March 2023 in the French National Assembly.
One motion was proposed by a cross-party alliance that included the left-wing NUPES and the regionalist LIOT (introduced by Bertrand Pancher and defended by Charles de Courson); the other by the right-wing populist National Rally (introduced by Marine Le Pen and defended by Laure Lavalette). The two motions were introduced in response to the government's use of constitutional article 49.3 to pass a controversial law that raised the retirement age from 62 to 64.[1][2][3][4][5] On 20 March, both motions were voted down. The cross-party motion failed by a margin of 9 votes, the slimmest since 1990.[6]
The National Rally (RN) voted in favour of both motions, while the majority of The Republicans (LR) deputies did not vote in favour of either one.
