National Rally Files No-Confidence Motion Over Energy Plan Decree

The motion contests a decree setting the PP3 that elevates nuclear power at the expense of onshore wind and solar.

Le groupe RN présidé par Marine Le Pen a déposé lundi 23 février 2026 une motion de censure pour protester contre la publication par décret de la Programmation pluriannuelle de l’énergie.

Contre la Programmation pluriannuelle de l’énergie, le RN dépose une motion de censure contre le gouvernement

Overview

  • The National Rally submitted the censure motion on February 23 to challenge the government's decision to publish the multi-year energy plan by decree.
  • Under Assembly rules requiring a 48-hour delay, the motion will be debated no earlier than Wednesday.
  • Marine Le Pen called the decree an "illiberal act" and labeled the strategy "degrowth," arguing the energy code warranted a law.
  • The party also claims the plan overcommits to intermittent renewables under European influence and poses major fiscal risks, allegations the government disputes.
  • The Senate's right has pressed the issue as well, with a debate set for Monday afternoon at Gérard Larcher's request, while observers say the motion is unlikely to pass given RN's past failures.
