The French Socialist Party (PS) has filed a motion of censure against Prime Minister François Bayrou, criticizing his use of the term "migratory submersion," which they argue aligns with far-right rhetoric.

The motion, set for debate on Wednesday, is unlikely to pass without support from the far-right Rassemblement National (RN), which has already declined to back it.

The PS accuses the government of adopting policies and language that echo the extreme right, undermining democratic values.

This move follows weeks of tension, with the Socialists aiming to send a strong message about their commitment to "values" and opposition to what they see as a moral and political decline.

While symbolic, the motion highlights growing divisions within the French political landscape.
