Budget 2023: The French Prime Minister faces the motions of no confidence from Nupes and the RN this afternoon

As part of the 2023 budget, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne will face the Assembly this afternoon with the motions of no confidence from Nupes and the RN promising electric debates in the hemicycle although they have almost no chance of being adopted.
