Did Sandrine Rousseau give the arm of honor to the parliamentarians of the National Rally this Friday, October 25? The elected representative of the environmentalists presented her apology to the National Assembly after admitting to having “initiated” a gesture, while Parliament studies the finance bill.
“The gesture that I started, that I did not complete, had no place in the Chamber,” acknowledged the deputy, presenting “her apologies to all the parliamentarians present” for her gesture.
The session was suspended at the request of National Rally MP Bryan Masson, while he reviewed footage taken of the session. “Madame Rousseau gave the go-ahead to the national representation, which seems particularly unworthy to me,” said the elected representative of the RN, before the vice president of Horizons of the Assembly, Naïma Moutchou, accepted a request for suspension for a few days . minutes.
It is not the first time that a gesture of this style has been observed within the limits of the National Assembly.
On Tuesday, March 7, 2023, it was the former Minister of Justice Éric Dupond-Moretti who presented two weapons of honor to deputy Olivier Marleix. Former government minister Attal said he “regretted” a “nonsense” on March 29 in Le Parisien. His gesture was, according to him, “a way of signifying that[Olivier Marleix] had given approval to the presumption of innocence.
