==Background==
===2022 French legislative election===
The [[Ensemble Citoyens|presidential majority]] of [[Emmanuel Macron]] failed to gain an absolute majority of seats in the [[2022 French legislative election]] on June 19. It was described as a setback for the ruling [[Ensemble Citoyens]] coalition and the government of [[Élisabeth Borne]].<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Hummel |first1=Tassilo |last2=Melander |first2=Ingrid |date=2022-06-19 |title=French election: Macron loses absolute majority in parliament in 'democratic shock' |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/macron-faces-tough-battle-control-parliament-france-votes-2022-06-19/ |access-date=2022-07-11}}</ref>
According to French MP [[Bastien Lachaud]], the no-confidence motion ″will clarify things. It concerns the method of refusing to ask for confidence. Any member of Parliament who is aware today that this is a denial of democracy can vote for this motion″.
==Result==
The no-confidence motion received 146 ''yes'' votes out of the 289 needed.<ref name=":0" />
