What better than a return to school, also under the sign of the abaya ban, to get out of the closet a proposal that has not yet had time to collect dust? Ask the question of the National Rally and the Les Républicains party, which in recent days have again pushed for the establishment of school uniforms.
LR pleads for a generalization of the uniform
Observing that the Minister of National Education, Gabriel Attal, opened a door, by being favorable to an experiment for the establishments that want it, the right takes the ball with the jump. And on the subject, Éric Ciotti, president of LR, wants to “advance[r] quickly” and goes even further: he already advocates a generalization of the uniform. A position that he has already affirmed on several occasions in the past.
But in the meantime, any progress is good for the Niçois. “We want to launch an experience in this sense, in the schools of the Alpes-Maritimes, in agreement with the president of the departmental council”, he announced in the JDDspecifying that he had “discussed this candidacy with Gabriel Attal”.
On the right, the debate is not new. If wearing a school uniform was not on Valérie Pécresse’s presidential program for 2022, it was unanimous among the candidates at the last LR congress, in December 2022. Aurélien Pradié had even tried to push the cursor a little further, proposing to establish it at the university . He before finally backing down at the clamor of his own side.
The RN talks about a unique outfit again
In this sequence, LR does not hunt alone. The RN also watches the situation with delight. The Flame Party is again talking about its proposal to introduce a “one team” in schools. Or a text presented on January 12 during his parliamentary niche.
Unsuccessfully. And, above all, without the support of Macronie, as Laurent Jacobelli, spokesman for RN, did not fail to point out in France Info this Sunday. A way of surfing on the divisions that could feed the topic in the majority.
Will the majority speak with one voice?
She found herself embarrassed on the benches in the chamber, in front of the far-right text. Her presentation came the day after an interview for the parisian in which Brigitte Macron spoke out in favor of wearing a uniform. One more thorn in the shoe of the macronista deputies whose violins were already out of tune. As demonstrated by this column by Olga Givernet on November 26 in the JDD.
The Renaissance parliamentarian then deplored the return of the uniform debate, in response to 7 deputies from her group who had presented to the leaders of her group a text intended to establish the “use of a common school uniform”, as we later learned . the figaro.
For the moment, Gabriel Attal is procrastinating and is careful not to speak of a “generalization” of the uniform, referring this question to the future and to the results of his initiative. Which may only be a trial balloon if it turns into divisive poison for a relative majority that cannot afford that luxury.
