On the eve of the fateful date, the leader of the Republican deputies, Laurent Wauquiez , gave "freedom to vote" on Sunday to the fifty members of his group on the request for confidence requested by François Bayrou , in contradiction with the leader of the party Bruno Retailleau who called on them to support the Prime Minister this Monday.

"I never ask my MPs to vote against their conscience," said Laurent Wauquiez on LCI, assuring that LR elected officials "are not bootlickers."
