Paris, Oct 3 - The Law Commission of the French National Assembly today rejected an initiative promoted by a left wing section to remove President Emmanuel Macron, who is accused of ignoring the result of the legislative elections.
The vote concluded with 54 deputies in favor and 15 against, which does not prevent the examination of the text in the lower house, where the general consensus is that he has little chance of success.
The Unsubmissive France, with the support of ecologist and communist parliamentarians, seeks to turn both the National Assembly and the Senate into a "High Court" to judge the head of state, under the protection of article 68 of the Constitution.
This section of the Constitution states that the President of the Republic may lose his position in case of "manifest failure to perform their duties," acting in a manner "incompatible with the exercise of their mandate."
After the decision of the Law Commission, the next step will be to analyze the initiative in the chamber, which should take place in less than two weeks.
The argument of the process is that Macron marginalized the popular will expressed in the polls, by ruling out allowing the left to form a government.
In the July legislative elections, the New Popular Front was the list that secured the most deputies, with 193, although far from the absolute majority in the National Assembly (289), thus demanding the appointment of Lucie Castets as Prime Minister, a request dismissed by the president, who appointed Michel Barnier on September 5.
