81 lawmakers from the New Popular Front (NFP) signed a motion for a resolution of impeachment against Emmanuel Macron, according to France Info.
This was announced on Wednesday, 4 September, by La France Insoumise, the party behind the initiative. The text was signed by 72 MPs, six elected environmentalists (Benjamin Lucas, Sandrine Rousseau, Clémentine Autain, Alexis Corbière, Hendrik Davi, Danielle Simonnet), and three elected members of The Democratic and Republican Left group (Frédéric Maillot, Karine Lebon, Emeline K/Bidi).
Faced with President Emmanuel Macron’s refusal to appoint a Prime Minister from the coalition that came out on top in the legislative elections on 7 July, the authors of the motion for a resolution wish Parliament to initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the Republic.
The impeachment procedure must follow a long process governed by Article 68 of the Constitution. The next stage would be to pass through the bureau of the National Assembly to ensure that the proposal is acceptable.
