Members of the French Parliament adopted a resolution on the resignation of Macron

Eighty-one deputies from the left-wing bloc "New Popular Front" (NFP) adopted a resolution demanding the resignation of French President Emmanuel Macron, Franceinfo reports.

The impeachment procedure was initiated by Jean-Luc Melenchon's ultra-left party "Unconquered France" within the framework of article 68 of the country's Constitution. The reason was Macron's refusal to appoint Lucie Caste as prime minister.

"After President Emmanuel Macron's refusal to appoint a prime minister from the coalition that won the July 7 elections, the authors of the resolution want parliament to initiate the impeachment procedure of the president," it says.

They regarded the actions of the French leader as "a coup d'etat unprecedented in the history of the French Republic since 1877."

Article 68 of the French Constitution, referred to by the authors of the resolution, allows the president to be impeached for "failure to perform his duties, clearly incompatible with the implementation of his mandate."

According to the results of the early elections to the National Assembly, which took place on June 30 and July 7, none of the parties received a majority. The victory was won by the "New People's Front" (184 seats). The centrist coalition of the president "Together!" received 166 mandates. The ultra-right has 143 seats out of 577. Macron held a series of meetings with the leaders of the parties that passed the parliament to find the prime minister's candidacy. He rejected the candidacy from the left, as the government headed by the "New Popular Front", in his opinion, will not be able to get the approval of the National Assembly and a vote of confidence of parliamentarians.

The resolution will be considered by the Office of the National Assembly on September 11, TF1 reports. If it is considered acceptable there, it will be submitted to the legal commission, where a simple majority will be necessary for its adoption. Then the resolution will be discussed at the session of the parliament. This may happen in the first days of October. To adopt the document, a two-thirds majority of votes will be required. After that, he will be sent to The Senate, says RBC.
