CONT

Le groupe socialiste a alors décidé de déposer une motion de censure contre la politique sociale du gouvernement.

OBS

On ne doit pas confondre la motion de censure et la motion de blâme. La motion de blâme, une fois adoptée, n'entraîne pas nécessairement la démission du gouvernement ou de la personne visée, alors que la motion de censure, une fois adoptée, exige la démission du gouvernement.
