Whose fault is it? Bruno Le Maire and the National Grouping pass the ball after Alexandre Loubet, RN deputy for Moselle, called the Minister of Economy a “coward” during questions to the government in the National Assembly on Tuesday.
“It’s up to Bruno Le Maire to apologize to the French,” Jordan Bardella reaffirmed on BFMTV on Wednesday.
While Alexandre Loubet had criticized the minister for his vague responses on the state of the industry in France, Jordan Bardella also denounced his elections on “economic issues” as well as those of Emmanuel Macron, who officiated at Bercy between 2014 and 2016 during the five-year period. . year of François Hollande’s mandate.
For him, the two men have sold “for ten years the industrial heritage of the French”. He cites in particular the sale of “Alstom to the Americans” by General Electric in 2014.
“Yes, the Lord Mayor and Mr Macron have shown cowardice […] Yes, they behaved like liquidators at the head of the State. Yes, they do not defend the interests of France”, declared the interim president of the RN in an anaphora.
“Freedom of expression is in danger”
After the intervention of Alexandre Loubet, Bruno Le Maire had asked “solemn apologies to the National Rally”. The far-right deputies reacted by leaving the chamber at the request of the leader of their group, Marine Le Pen. Subsequently, the former party Les Républicains (LR) and the former presidential candidate renewed their position through interposed networks, blaming each other.
Yaël Braun-Pivet, President (Renaissance) of the National Assembly, imposed a call to order as well as an entry in the minutes to Alexandre Loubet. The deputy for Moselle will therefore lose a quarter of his parliamentary endowment this month. Within the RN, Frédéric Boccaletti, RN deputy for Var was also called to order, after having described the Minister of National Education Pap N’Diaye as “communitarian”.
“Extremely serious” sanctions for Jordan Bardella who believes that Yaël Braun-Pivet has given in to an “authoritarian impulse”. According to the MEP, “freedom of expression is in danger”.
“The National Assembly is the political home of the French people, of debate, of the confrontation of ideas,” he defended.
And to add: “Freedom of expression is all the more sacred in this place as the deputies that we are have parliamentary immunity to be able to criticize and debate.”
“When we have principles […] we apply them to others”
Does Jordan Bardella apply the same reasoning to the Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet case? The Renaissance member was also called to order on Tuesday by Yaël Braun-Pivet, after having described the RN as “xenophobic”.
“When there are principles, we apply them to ourselves, but we also apply them to others,” he replies.
For those who will seek to be definitively elected as head of their party during the RN Congress in early November, the sanctions, whether against “majority or opposition deputies” are a “discount in terms of freedom.” expression”.
“I will politically combat with all my might the caricatures made of the National Rally and the accusations of xenophobia. […] but I consider that criticism, within the limits of French democracy, has the right to pronounce itself”, developed the interim head of the RN.
