24 hours after the announcement of his death, the emotion is very lively. Deputy Lr Olivier Marleix committed suicide on July 7, causing a shock wave in the National Assembly. After a minute of silence organized in the hemicycle, the president of the Palais-Bourbon Yaël Braun-Pivet said some words in the gallery this Tuesday, before the news in the government.
“It was ours,” said the perha tenant on Tuesday, evoking “stupor and pain” of the deputies before evoking his career that had as “red thread the fight against corruption, conflicts of interest, ethics.”
Tribute
Yaël Braun-Pivet had worked for five years with Olivier Marleix when she was president of the Law Commission, before rubbing her shoulders with him as the number 1 of the National Assembly when he himself was president of the LR group between 2022 and 2024.
“He personified the parliamentarian in the noblest acceptance of the term,” he said.
Figure of the right, Olivier Marleix had been chosen for the National Assembly since 2012. His death at the age of 54, caused a wave of taxes throughout the political class.
“So many questions”
Who was the son of Alain Marleix, former deputy and former secretary of state of Nicolás Sarkoz, was particularly noted during his presidency of the Investigation Commission on Alstom in 2019.
Laurent Wauquiez, who happened at the head of LR agents last July, also spoke. Obviously he moved, the deputy of Haute-Loire stressed “the dignity of his political commitment.”
If the two men were not close, the president of the right group judged that despite “their political differences, Olivier Marleix” had always fought their fights with justice and plume. “
“His departure, the brutality of circumstances brings us so many questions,” said Laurent Wauquiez.
“A fighter”
François Bayrou, who had gone earlier in the morning, in the lands of Olivier Marleix, spoke before the deputies “his love rooted by our country.” “He was a fighter,” said Prime Minister again.
“This makes us think that we never know the fragility of human beings, even those who seem the strongest, the most combative, the most committed,” they had already explained to the centrist in Chartres (Eure-Et-Loir) in the morning.
Already Braun-Pivet will pronounce a funeral praise in September, in the presence of his family and relatives.
