The National Group wants to pressure deputies to repeal the pension reform. Once a month in the National Assembly, an opposition group or a minority group decides the agenda and can include its bills: this is what we call a parliamentary niche.
For the RN, it will be Thursday, October 31. According to information from BFMTV, the first bill that will be debated that day in the chamber will be the repeal of the pension reform. And the group led by Marine Le Pen wants to set a trap for its political opponents.
a website
To this end, the RN launched last Thursday a website that allows each Frenchman to ask his parliamentarian to “put pressure on him before the vote and ask him to vote in favor of the repeal.”
The person must enter their municipality, then their department number and then their deputy’s National Assembly email address is displayed. However, in order to do so, you must first provide its name, name, postal code and email address and accept that these data are registered for the exclusive use of the RN, the RN group and the deputies that belong to it, what It allows the extreme right party to build a solid database.
A “name and shame” campaign
For opposition MPs who have not supported RN’s proposal to repeal pension reform, the party has planned a “name and shame” campaign to publicly attack them.
The RN is already preparing leaflets that will be distributed in all left-wing constituencies and in certain constituencies of central bloc deputies (those who have criticized the pension reform in the past or those who have expressed some concern about it). ). The photo and name of the deputy in question will bear the seal “he did not vote, the RN deputies voted.”
“Invert” electoral districts
These leaflets, which can also be transformed into posters, will be distributed in the days following the vote in the constituencies where the opposition deputies did not vote in favor of the proposal to repeal the RN.
Objective of these pamphlets: “to denounce the fraud of those who claim to defend the people and attack politicians who make speeches but do not turn them into actions,” explains a party executive.
In addition, the group will be very attentive to the constituencies with strong potential to “tilt them”, that is, those that were lost in the past, but that the RN hopes to win in the future.
Always according to the same partisan framework, the RN “will ask the departmental delegates, the possible legislative candidates and the activists who are particularly attentive to these constituencies where the change can take place.” “Those where the RN was not present in the second round, during the last legislative elections, there is less at stake,” he explains.
