French parliament rejects motion to impeach President Macron

The French parliament on Wednesday rejected a motion to impeach President Macron.

According to French media sources, the legislative committee of the French National Assembly rejected the proposal to impeach President Emmanuel Macron, submitted by the France Unbowed party, as the impeachment project received 15 votes, while 54 deputies rejected it.

The left-wing opposition party had criticised Macron for what it described as his lack of respect for the results of the legislative elections, prompting it to make the proposal.
Despite the uproar caused by this move, the legislative committee did not consider that there was sufficient justification to proceed with the impeachment process, which led to the rejection of the proposal by a large majority.
