00:00In France, the political party La France Insoumise, LFI, received 104 votes from members of Parliament for its motion to impeach President Emmanuel Macron.
00:10The initiative reintroduced on September 9th in the National Assembly is based on Article 68 of the Constitution, which establishes the exceptional mechanism for serious breaches.
00:21Its success depends on the post-election fragmentation of 2024, which left Parliament without a clear majority.
00:27The most recent government crisis led to the resignation of former Prime Minister François Barrou, after 364 votes against the Motion of Confidence.
00:37This dismissal by Motion of Confidence, the first since 1962, forced Macron to appoint Sébastien Lecornu as the new Prime Minister, although he is already facing a motion of censures.
