The impeachment motion of Macron in the French Parliament

According to RCO News Agency, on Tuesday, the office of the French National Assembly approved the draft resolution on the subject of starting the impeachment process of French President Emmanuel Macron.

This office is known as the highest decision-making body in the French National Assembly, which currently has 22 members, 12 of whom are representatives of left-wing parties.

According to Loparizin, the impeachment plan of Macron was launched at the beginning of this month at the initiative of the left-wing party “Unyielding France”.

After experiencing the unexpected defeat of his party in the European Parliament elections in June and the jump in the votes of the extreme right, Macron felt threatened and decided to take a political gamble by issuing a call for early elections in July.

Following France’s early parliamentary elections in July, the left-wing New Popular Front coalition won 182 of the 577 seats in the French National Assembly. In this election, the coalition belonging to Macron, known as “Together for the Republic”, came in second place and won 168 seats in the National Assembly.

The far-right party of the National Assembly, which had an alliance with the moderate right-wing Republican Party, also won 143 seats in this election. In this way, as a result of these elections, none of the famous political parties of France could get a majority in the parliament with which they would be able to form a new government.

After obtaining unfavorable results in the elections and despite the fact that the leftists won, Macron rejected the possibility that the new popular front would participate in the formation of the government, as well as the candidate proposed by this leftist coalition for the prime minister of France, “Lucy Caste”.

On the 15th of September, after 2 months of negotiating and searching for a prime minister, Macron finally appointed Michel Barnier, the former president of the European Commission, as the new prime minister of France. Barnier is considered a conservative and closed politician, sometimes adhering to far-right views.

French leftists, including the “Unyielding France” party, threatened to impeach Macron after Macron opposed their candidate for prime minister, and now they have implemented this threat. The French leftists have also threatened to propose a vote of no confidence in the parliament by emphasizing not to join the government led by Barnier.
